In the early hours of Wednesday morning Pattaya Police received a visit from Mr. Almaboudi, a 57 year old French national.
He was covered in blood after being stabbed in the ribs. Sawang Boriboon volunteers who were at hand gave him first aid before sending him to hospital.
He stated that he was attacked by 4 teenage boys playing guitars on the beach opposite Soi 6.
The cause of the attack is not clear, all he could say was that one of the boys picked a fight with him and pulled out a knife and stabbed him.
Patrol police went to the area but there were no boys playing guitars to be seen or any blood stains on the ground.
Furthermore, people sitting nearby stated they hadn’t seen anyone playing guitars or any trouble occurring whilst they were there for nearly 2 hours.
However, an investigation will begin once the Frenchman recovers to make a full statement.
