A foreign man refused to pay a transport fare and stabbed a Thai app-based motorcycle rider in the car park of a shopping mall in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district on January 24.

 

A video of a foreigner arguing with a Thai app-based motorcycle rider was shared on a Thai social media platform last month but it only gained attention from Thai news agencies today, February 6. The foreign attacker reportedly remains at large.

 

The video of the incident was recorded by a witness at the shopping mall car park. The rider, wearing an orange jacket, chased after his foreign passenger and demanded that he stop and pay the transport fare. The foreigner continued walking away, carrying a white parcel box and a knife.

 

The person recording the video urged the foreigner to drop the weapon and stop fleeing if he had done nothing wrong. The foreigner ignored the plea and stabbed the rider. The victim managed to dodge the attack but sustained a cut to his waist.

 

The rider, identified only as Moss, told the Thai News Agency that he picked up the foreign passenger from outside a shopping mall in Pathum Wan to take him to a nearby mall. Upon arrival at the destination, the foreigner borrowed Moss’s ID card for a parcel delivery service, claiming he forgot his passport.

 

 

Concerned that his name might be used to deliver illegal goods, Moss requested to check the contents of the parcel box before handing over his ID card. The foreign man refused, insisting that the box contained Lego toys. Moss was sceptical, as the parcel was very heavy, and insisted on checking the contents.

 

The foreign man suddenly became angry and walked away without paying the transport fare. The argument escalated into a stabbing, as captured in the video.

 

People in the car park rushed to restrain the foreigner but he managed to flee before the police arrived.

 

Moss said he filed a complaint with the police for attempted murder and failure to pay the transport fare. Regarding the unpaid fare, the foreign man could face a fine of up to 5,000 baht under Section 152 of the Land Transport Act.

 

For attempted murder, the penalty is half the punishment for murder under Section 288 of the Criminal Code, which can result in the death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for 15 to 20 years.

Hopefully they catch him and throw his butt in jail with a hefty fine.

15 years in a Thai prison seems very appropriate to me.

[DaRoadrunner]

I wonder what was in the package? Unusual; a farang trying to out con a Thai and managing to do a runner as well.

This week there was also one of those aggressive 'foreigners with dark skin, beard and black hair, more and more are coming to LOS, we shouldn't want that'.

You only want blue eyes and blond hair?

[ujayujay]

One more farang loser who should not be allowed to enter the country, your own fault, Thailand

Hefty fine isn't just enough.

That SO* deserves hellish time  in Hotel Bang Kwan(AKA BKK Hilton).

Even better if Drop Dead there, fed to the hungry strays, and skeletonized...

The aggressor looked like an Arab  though.

Judging from the facial characteristics(dark, both with beard and moustache; often common among the men in the Islamic regions).

[black tabby12345]

Release the full face of that Bastar*.

Why obscuring it? 

A fugitive has no such thing as Privacy.

Thanks.

If that low-life was from Islamic region, that is the Worst Possible Humiliation; to be devoured by dogs after death.

100% sure that contents must be something illegal(in own country or here, or both).

Don't see what my name has got to do with it.

The video says foreigner, not farang. 

Thais would consider this foreigner to be a kaek, not a farang.

"...trying to out con a Thai...".

Why are you suggesting that the Thai rider had been trying to con the foreigner?

[merck]

Sounds like  a London accent.

He doesn't look like a farang, looks more South Asian.

Probably sending cannabis overseas as many here now are doing.
