It is best to understand these things happen and not end up as a victim.
Now to the news!
An Irishman is in critical condition after being repeatedly stabbed in an early morning attack outside an apartment building in Pattaya yesterday, April 26.
The 34 year old victim sustained multiple slash wounds to his left arm, abdomen, and both legs. He was found lying injured next to his red-plated Honda motorcycle.
The attack occurred around 1.36 AM near a condominium in Soi Thep Prasit 17. A security guard at the scene told police that the victim was returning from a convenience store on his motorcycle when another rider, reportedly a foreigner, pulled alongside him, kicked his bike, and knocked him to the ground.
The assailant then stabbed the victim several times before fleeing the scene. Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation rushed to provide first aid before transporting the injured man to the hospital.
Investigators are now working to identify and track down the suspect, using descriptions provided by witnesses.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaowalit Suwanmanee, Deputy Superintendent of Pattaya Police Station, confirmed that officers are gathering evidence and urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
