A heated altercation unfolded in a Pattaya wholesale store on March 9, when a 19-year-old woman initiated a confrontation with another shopper over a blocked aisle. The incident occurred at 8pm in a store on Soi Khao Noi, East Pattaya, and the entire episode was captured on CCTV.

 

The chaos began when 44-year-old Akira Park attempted to navigate the narrow aisle towards the checkout with her children. Finding her path obstructed, Akira politely asked the young woman to step back, which unexpectedly triggered an aggressive response. Instead of acquiescing, the teenager rammed her cart into Akira's, escalating the situation into a verbal spat.

 

Sensing the tension, Akira attempted to diffuse the situation by leaving the scene. However, the teenager falsely accused Akira of confronting her mother, which led to a startling physical altercation. The assailant allegedly grabbed Akira by the throat, while Akira, conscious of her children's presence, restrained herself from retaliating.

 

The situation deteriorated further as Akira was ambushed again while exiting the store. The CCTV footage revealed the teenager pulling Akira's hair, causing her to fall.

 

 

Following the assault, Akira reported the incident to the Nongprue Police Station, seeking justice and pressing charges against the teenager, known only as Noi. Despite her efforts, Akira has expressed frustration with the pace of the legal proceedings, vowing to pursue accountability for the attack.

 

Attempts to reach Noi for her side of the story have been unsuccessful, with the suspect declining to comment when contacted by the press.

 

Akira remains resolute in her quest for justice, determined not to let the incident go unpunished, reported The Thaiger.

Where in Soi Khao Noi is this wholesale store ?

Why does me asking for the location of a shop confuse someone ?

Good luck with that dear.  Police only act when: a) there is something in it for them; or b) the swell of bad publicity forces them out of their habitual inactivity.

Seriously, what hope is there for humanity when well fed people go to war with each other over a bleeding shopping cart in a consumer cathedral of plenty?

Ignore 'confused', this member is confused about everything / every post.

 

Probably even confused whether Tuesday follows Monday.

What an utterly bizarre incident. People can be so surly these days, fortunately I don't see much of this happening in Thailand, though there do seem to be a disproportionate number of dysfunctional people living within the region of Pattaya.
