Panic struck diners in a restaurant in Bangkok’s Bang Khen district during the afternoon of 12 June, when a heated altercation between customers escalated into gunfire, leaving one man injured.

 

The incident occurred around 13:00 at a restaurant located on Phahonyothin Road in the Anusawari subdistrict. According to witnesses, a verbal dispute between members of a dining party suddenly turned violent, culminating in two gunshots being fired within the restaurant premises.

 

One man sustained injuries as a result and was promptly assisted by emergency responders before being rushed to Paolo Kaset Hospital. Reports indicate that the victim remained conscious and was able to walk out of the restaurant unaided before being taken to hospital for treatment.

 

At approximately 13:35, police officers from Bang Khen Police Station, including Pol. Lt. Col. Sarnpich Sirisuntorn and Pol. Lt. Col. Kosonpiya Sima, arrived at the scene to gather evidence and interview witnesses. Officers cordoned off the area for forensic examination and began collecting CCTV footage as part of their investigation.

 

The restaurant’s owner, Mr. Prasit, spoke briefly to reporters. He confirmed that the incident occurred in the restaurant’s “Bua Luang” private dining room, where a group of patrons became involved in a shouting match that escalated quickly.

 

“They were arguing quite loudly before someone pulled out a gun and fired two shots. The injured man was still conscious and managed to walk outside before rescue teams arrived,” Mr. Prasit said.

 

Police have yet to confirm the identities of those involved or the motive behind the altercation. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to apprehend the shooter.
