At the scene, police observed the injured foreign man, Mr. Reza Shivaz [31] from Ireland, sitting on the curb in a distressed state, suffering from several wounds to his shoulder, legs and arms. Rescue personnel rendered first-aid to Mr. Shivaz before police took him to the station for interrogation.

Mr. Shivaz explained that he had been out to a pub in Walking Street, upon returning to his motorbike he observed a group of Middle Eastern men fighting in the street near the Marine Hotel. Stopping to capture video of the scene, using his mobile phone, Mr. Shivaz explained he then continued to his motorbike and proceeded to drive home.

The group of men who had previously been fighting, along with another Thai man, confronted Mr. Shivaz as he was leaving, attempting to rob him for the phone. Mr. Shivaz managed to escape the gang but was kicked off his bike after they had given chase.

Mr. Saeksap stated that the men appeared to steal various items from Mr. Shivaz’s possession before they left the scene. Mr. Saeksap explained that he had not tried to intervene due to there being at least 6 men involved in the incident and that he was unwilling to receive a similar beating. Although he professes that he immediately assisted the victim after the violent gang had left, also notifying police.

Police investigations will continue on Monday in an attempt to apprehend the violent gang of foreign thugs and retrieve Mr. Shivaz’s personnel belongings.

He has an Iranian Name. He looks Iranian. He was assaulted by Iranians. He has a passport of convenience from Ireland. He's a paki and he deserved to be bashed.

True, accuracy in the details is never their strong point.

He was probably an Iranian beaten by a gang of Irish.

Did he throw his shoes at them?
