A Thai man named Jamras sustained severe injuries after allegedly being assaulted by garage owner Preecha in Samut Prakan. The altercation occurred on January 28 when Jamras moved a stray kitten away from traffic to protect it, leading to a violent confrontation. This incident gained public attention on March 15 after Jamras sought help from the Saimai Survive foundation, citing police inaction.

On the incident day, Jamras visited a grocery store near the garage and moved the kitten to a safer location. Preecha, accusing Jamras of stealing the animal, demanded its return. Though Jamras agreed, exhaustion delayed his actions, leading to the altercation where Preecha allegedly attacked him with a wooden stick.

Jamras suffered multiple injuries, including a brain haemorrhage and fractured jaw, requiring a 36-day hospital stay. He claimed to have reported the case to police but noted a lack of progress. Saimai Survive has pledged to press the police for action, advocating for the case to be treated as attempted murder given the severity of injuries.

Authorities have not publicly addressed the situation, nor has Preecha shared his version of events. The family remains hopeful for justice as the foundation continues to intervene, reported The Thaiger.

The brain is the absolute most dangerous place to be injured.

Very unfortunate situation.
