Knife attack inside South Pattaya Bar. Swedish man injured. Police hunt for the English attacker.

Tourist Police based on Walking Street were approached by a distressed member of staff from the Bamboo Bar, located near the Entrance to the street, just after 1am on Wednesday Morning. She mentioned that a foreign man had just been stabbed inside the bar.

Tourist Police along with volunteers rushed to the location and discovered a Swedish man who had been stabbed in his upper body. He mentioned that he believed the attacker was of English nationality and had run away before Police arrived. A search was conducted and the suspected attacker could not be found.

Mr. Raimo Saaninkowski aged 54 from Sweden who was accompanied by his girlfriend were transported to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital and he received treatment for the wound. He explained that he was sitting inside the Bamboo Bar when the suspect approached him and for no apparent reason, stabbed him and then ran away. A full description of the attacker is now in the hands of the Police who are investigating the case as we speak.

when the suspect approached him and for no apparent reason, stabbed him and then ran away.

Yeah, right.

Don't get me wrong, i don't beleive in this type of behaviour but come on, nobody just goes in and stabs somebody for no reason. Come on Mr Sweden what have you been upto

He mentioned that he believed the attacker was of English nationality

Well that says alot - might not be english after all.

with only one side of the story could be any reason, ex bf of his girlfriend, business deal gone bad, argument at another bar??? Too may viariables!!! Hope he heals soon & the police catch the attacker.

I get the feeling that the Swede has left some of the story out.

If he was stabbed merely for being Swede then I would conjecture it was a Finn what did it.

This victim sounds like an immigrant to Sweden from the Eastern Block, not a Swede. No offense to all the Slavik immigrants to Sweden, but some of them are extreme vicious full of hatred like the one from old Yugo who stabbed the foriegn minister Anna Lindh to death. I think there is more to the story.

The Bamboo Bar.

They're trying to bamboozle us.

Perhaps it is the bam BOOZE talking.

Maybe it was wham BAM but not with my m'aam.

BOO and BAH to them all.

If the attacker had planned this better he would have just gave the guy a small cut on the chin.

This would have caused his death, with blood seeping from every orifice, and would have fooled the police into believing it was an accident.

i bet that is the connection ,and that would explain how he knew the guy was English , how else would he know unless she told him ( any bookies out there )

and another guess is the English man has been sending money and has arrived early , and hay presto hes lost the plot
