Earlier events indicated that Scott had entered the venue with his son and consumed alcohol, appearing intoxicated. He reportedly caused a disturbance, leading staff to request him to leave. When he refused, an argument ensued, and security personnel intervened as Scott refused to pay charges of 1,070 baht.

Security staff tried to escort Scott out, but he resisted, resulting in a struggle during which he reportedly fell and hit his head on glass. Although the venue's security denied immediate access to police and CCTV footage, officers suspect the injuries might not have been solely due to the fall. Further investigation is underway as police seek more information.

Police are questioning the venue's supervisor and security personnel to ascertain the full details of the altercation. They are also awaiting Scott's recovery to obtain his statement. Legal actions may be pursued if evidence of an assault is confirmed, signaling potential serious consequences for those involved, reported The Thaiger.
