More Than 10 Officers Required to End Pattaya Disturbance

A foreign man was arrested after an early-morning confrontation involving tourists, drivers and local residents near Pattaya Second Road. Police said the apparently intoxicated man assaulted an Indian tourist, damaged a songthaew and refused to cooperate with responding officers. More than 10 police officers were eventually needed to restrain him after a struggle lasting over 10 minutes. Witnesses offered conflicting accounts, with the suspect’s daughter claiming the confrontation followed earlier disputes at a bar and an alleged unwanted touching incident. Police initially charged the man with public drunkenness and disorderly behaviour while continuing to examine footage and interview everyone involved.
