BANGKOK — Police were hunting Wednesday for an unidentified man suspected of trying to take another motorist’s head with a long blade earlier this week. In an interview from his hospital bed Tuesday, Office worker Nattawut Nuanjun said he was driving in the leftmost lane on Ekamai-Ramindra Road to meet a client at about 10am on Monday when a gray Mitsubishi cut him off. As he was changing lanes to overtake the other driver, he accidentally clipped the car.

ClutchClark Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It sounds more like this guy had road rage when the other car cut him off. He admits clipping the other car as he attempted to regain position and then forced the other driver to stop and approached the other drivers car. No wonder the other driver attemped to defend himself--Nuttawat was a loose cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sahibji Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 this is a serious case. the police should have gone to the hospital to record the statement and followed up thereafter rather than expecting the victims to come up personally to lodge the report.

Fookhaht Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Actually, I'm starting to believe my Thai friends who keep telling me (as I honk at Thais) that "most" Thai drivers have a gun in their glove compartment, or a machete under their seat, or a baseball bat in the back.

Alive Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sure it happens often but no one gets hit or cut or shot. Mostly its just threats. I remember a Lao guy in the US who told me he scared off some people blocking the street with an axe he kept behind him in the car. That was 26 years ago so this stuff has always been around with drivers from the vicinity. I'm sure many people who face someone like that will think about having something in their car just in case. Many are getting car cams too. It's not like these road rage incidents are a once in a lifetime thing anymore. It's normal sad to say and the roads just get more and more filled with people as the stress from travel and work rises too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I finally figured out why they don't solve too many murders if the victim has to file the complaint in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatalot Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 “Posting [on social media] without filing an arrest made the situation more complicated,” he said." may be but Police being unwilling to lodge a report makes it even more complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Nattawut said that before he could get a word out, the other driver unsheathed a foot-long blade Is this a misprint?
