In Bangkok's Sai Mai area, a man was arrested for allegedly attempting to attack another man with a knife after a road rage incident. Police Colonel Anan Warasat, together with Deputy Police Superintendent Kosolpiya Seema and officers from Bang Khen Police Station, carried out the arrest.

 

The altercation occurred on March 6, when 50-year-old Weerachai Phumai reportedly engaged in a traffic dispute, chasing and attempting to stab another man. CCTV footage captured the incident, leading police to Weerachai, who was found outside his condominium on Soi Phahon Yothin 52.

 

 

Weerachai admitted to being the individual shown in the footage and confessed to the knife attack. He explained that he acted out of anger after being provoked by the motorcyclist who allegedly cut him off and shouted insults. Acting on impulse, Weerachai retrieved a folding knife from his bag and pursued the man, with the entire episode caught on video and shared across social media.

 

Police confiscated a blue Honda Wave 125 motorcycle, a folding knife, a black shoulder bag, and a white helmet linked to the incident. Facing charges of attempted bodily harm and carrying a weapon, Weerachai has been transferred to Bang Khen Police Station for further legal proceedings, reported The Thaiger.
