A confrontation over a borrowed motorcycle led to a violent altercation at a rented room in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri. Following a dispute about the motorcycle, which had been altered, the borrower was attacked with a knife.

 

At 10.06pm, yesterday, February 5, a report of an assault was received by the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Radio Centre. Emergency services, accompanied by the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation, arrived at the scene to find a large crowd of shocked locals.

 

The victim, 34 year old Atthaporn, who requested his surname be withheld, sustained injuries to his head and left shoulder. Following initial medical assistance, he was taken to the hospital promptly, while the assailants fled the scene.

 

 

Witnesses, including friends and other residents, revealed that the attackers had come to reclaim a motorcycle that Atthaporn had borrowed for use with the Bolt ride-hailing app but failed to return. Instead, he modified its wheels, which led to the confrontation.

 

Initially, the victim refused to open his door when the group knocked. However, during their second attempt, Atthaporn opened the door holding a golf club, and a heated argument ensued, reported KhaoSod.

 

This disagreement escalated into a physical altercation, resulting in Atthaporn’s injuries before the parties involved dispersed. Emergency services were then notified for further investigation.

That word again "borrow" often leads to misunderstandings.
