Two men were shot and injured after an argument in Pattaya turned into a violent brawl.
Legal officers and rescuers rushed to stop a street fight that broke out behind Mueang Pattaya Eight School on Pattaya Second Road today, just a few meters from Walking Street, December 1st. At 3:46 AM, the officers arrived to find two men, Mr. Tontrakarn Phasuk, 22, and Mr. Disorn Tokhan, 24, lying on Second Road in front of a hotel and Indian restaurant, bleeding heavily.
Multiple witnesses, including several Indian tourists, were nearby shocked over the incident in a major tourism area.
Tontrakarn suffered a deep cut to his head and one gunshot wound to his right arm, while Disorn suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh. The police found a 30 cm-long knife with a blood stain on the ground and two motorbikes that the suspects left at the scene.
Tontrakarn told police he had an altercation with a second group of men earlier at an unnamed pub over giving him a “wrong look” and had challenged to meet them here to settle the dispute. Tontrakarn and Disorn came alone, but the suspects unexpectedly arrived in a gang of four men, armed with a knife and a pistol.
Without saying any words, according to Tontrakarn, the suspects charged at the two men and reportedly struck Tontrakarn’s head with a knife and shot him and his friend, and then left.
