BANGKOK: -- A well known Thai actor who was caught on video beating up a motorcyclist who scratched his Mini Cooper has turned himself into police.

 

The TV star even forced the biker to prostrate himself in forgiveness to his vehicle after he broke his nose with repeated blows to the face, reports Thairath.

 

Akhranat  Ariyaritwikul, 28, otherwise known as Not went to Yannawa police last night but refused to comment to reporters.

 

He was caught on tape assaulting Kitisak Singto, 25, who has the nickname Boy. He is a clerk at the Taling Chan revenue department.

 

The incident happened outside Robinson's in Bang Rak and has prompted a wave of outrage on social media.

 

Boy's mother Suthira Hongthong, 53, and his elder sister earlier went to police to ask them to act in the case. She said she didn't want to make a big issue of it at first because she was worried it might affect her son's future.

 

But when she saw the sickening clip and doctors revealed the serious nature of her son's injuries she decided to press on with the case.

 

Boy had a broken nose, and damage to both eyes and extensive bruising.

 

He was seen being repeatedly punched in the face then was made to "graap" or prostrate himself in a Thai gesture of forgiveness to the celeb's vehicle. It was all caught on tape.

 

The actor turned up with his father at 8pm but made no comment.

No comment? I wanna hear all the poor excuses. Maybe the guy on the motorbike insulted his family. That seems to be justification for violence nowadays.

It is usually he made me lose face as the leading excuse to behave like a thug.

[craigt3365]

Great move by GMM!  I'm impressed.  Now what about that other TV celebrity who got caught drunk driving in Pattaya???

[amrishtony]

I just love the politeness drama of these rich brats and their parents when they are at fault. On other times, they think they are on top of the social chain and don't give a damn even if someone is dying infront of them.

Yes. Definitely self defense. The motorcyclist was exceedingly aggressive.  

[kblaze]

The celebrity's lawyer: “He was defending himself,” Adul Tinapong said at Yannawa Police Station. “The other person looked like he was about to start a fight.”

 

[garywim]

It will be interesting to hear the outcome of this, if we ever do.  As is the norm I\in Thailand, follow-up reporting has never been a strongpoint.

[ratcatcher]

"A lawyer for Acharanat Ariyaritwikol, 28, said his client struck Kittisak “Boy” Singto repeatedly on Friday out of self-defense. "

 

A lawyer said. well, he would, wouldn't he. The motorcyclist seemed to offer no resistance and was grabbed and assaulted by the punk little Mini - Cooper owner, now fortunately unemployed,owing to GMM nt wishing any bad publicity..

. Thanks to social media, these r-soles will have to be more careful they don't bite off more than they can chew.

The Zomby showed us all what it is to spit the dummy in public.

Self defense!

Yeah...right! 

He was so threatened by the guy, who repeatedly rammed his very strong nose into the TV-guys fist...

..i thought it was his lawyer..ny wrong.

[overherebc]

Where is the luxury car in all this ? I thought he was driving a mini, lower case intentional.

[rkidlad]

Great news he's been fired!

 

He's never gonna see jail time because this is Thailand, but let's hope this hurts him the pocket big time.

 

Now in this age of camera phones and social media you don't get to be a fake respected for being a good guy when really you're a total scumbag.

Been here 15 or 16 years so have some experience to back up my comment that the behavior of the a$$hole driving the mini is not some strange anomaly when it comes to Thai men - especially those with a little money.  So many are so quick to snap, in my opinion much more so than the average Western male. Yes, I'm making sweeping generalizations here and there are nice Thai guys and plenty of crazy Americans/Europeans, but so many Thai men will snap at the slightest insult and will then only fight when there are huge numbers on their side / they know the other side is not in a position to fight back as in this case where it's obviously hi-so vs lo-so. The words 'entitled' and 'coward' come to mind.
