A 34-year-old man was arrested yesterday after a heated altercation at a traffic light on March 2, where he allegedly hurled a rock at a woman's pickup truck in Phetchaburi province. The incident, not far from a police checkpoint, resulted in notable damage to the vehicle and stirred the local community.

 

Video footage of the event captured Panuwat, the accused, in the act, which rapidly circulated across social media platforms, igniting public fury. The footage demonstrated Panuwat's aggressive behaviour whilst revealing the shattered window of the truck. His actions have led observers to call on authorities for his prompt detention and prosecution.

 

 

Responding to public outcry, Panuwat was swiftly apprehended near Khao Yoi and brought to the Khao Yoi Police Station. During his confession, he admitted his actions stemmed from frustration, claiming the woman's vehicle had cut in front of his motorcycle moments before.

 

Consequently, Panuwat is facing charges of property damage and is set to undergo legal proceedings that align with Thai law. The incident underscores a broader societal concern regarding road rage and the escalating nature of such confrontations, reported The Thaiger.

Do they carry rocks along with the ubiquitous knives, machetes and sticks?

I saw this on the Yamaha Finn Facebook group.

The rider gets off the bike, with no number plate. no surprise there!!

And runs off to get the rocks, throws them at the pickup truck, and then rides off like a big man does.

He should be banned from driving for 10 years and brought to court, instead punished by the police...I saw the video too and the man is just crazy, but there are many like this...Big fines and punishments are the best options.. He has no license plate so he is not even allowed to be on the road
