A 55-year-old man has been arrested after violently attacking his neighbour with a machete, nearly severing his arm at the wrist, following a dispute over loud behaviour while drinking.

 

Police from Tha Ta Fang Station were called to a rented house along the Mae Sariang–Mae Sam Laep road in Ban Chom Kitti, Moo 13, Mae Yuam subdistrict, Mae Sariang district, Mae Hong Son. The suspect, identified only as “Mr. A,” was found intoxicated and in possession of a machete. He was promptly detained at the scene.

 

According to Pol. Lt. Papaspong Kaewrakmuk, the investigating officer, Mr. A became enraged after a neighbour, 34-year-old “Mr. B,” politely asked him to lower his voice while he was drinking loudly in the middle of the day. In a sudden burst of anger, Mr. A grabbed a machete and slashed at Mr. B, causing severe injuries to his left wrist.

 

Despite the brutal attack, the suspect returned to drinking as if nothing had happened. He was later taken into custody while attempting to flee the area.

 

Village headman Mr. Wipoon Kawon confirmed that the suspect was known for his aggressive behaviour while drunk and had caused disturbances in the neighbourhood on several previous occasions.

 

Mr. B was taken to Mae Sariang Hospital for treatment. Police have charged Mr. A with armed trespassing and assault and further legal proceedings are underway.

As long as the RTP is not enforcing laws and stay lazy there will be more and more incidents like this...People don't accept it everything anymore and with no support of the RTP they solve the problems by themselves...

And because of loud noise everywhere in Thailand people have ear damages already and so they have to scream and shout as they think they can not be heard... Education .... but that is not done either
