An 84-year-old woman named Nuan claimed she was attacked in her Samut Prakan home by an unidentified man who attempted to rape her. The attack allegedly occurred between 10pm and 11pm while her son was at work. Emergency responders found her with serious injuries and took her to Bang Pli Hospital for treatment.

The suspect, whom Nuan believes to be a non-Thai-speaking migrant worker, reportedly broke into her house, attacked her, and attempted to assault her multiple times unsuccessfully. Nuan, suffering from a deformed finger, head wound, and cuts, recounted pleading with the intruder to leave her alone. Her ordeal ended when she lost consciousness, regaining awareness only the following afternoon.

Neighbors initially doubted Nuan’s account due to her age but were convinced by her visible injuries. They supported her claims of the house being securely locked by her son, emphasizing the unusual nature of the incident in their community. Local police have begun an investigation, collecting evidence and interviewing Nuan to identify and apprehend the assailant.

The authorities reassured Nuan of their commitment to capturing the suspect once adequate evidence is secured. Despite the gravity of the crime, there had been no prior similar incidents in the neighborhood, highlighting the shock and urgency surrounding the case.
