Teens flee after attacking young motorcyclist in northern Thailand
A young man was left confused and injured after being knocked off his motorcycle at a busy intersection by a group of teenagers he did not know. The police are now urgently searching for the assailants.
Police in Nakhon Ratchasima received a report yesterday, July 31, about a brawl involving teenagers at the Thipmanee intersection in Phimai district. Officers, along with Phimai rescue units, rushed to the scene to find a motorcycle toppled over in the middle of the road.
Nearby, two teenage boys, aged between 15 and 17 years old, were found with injuries to their arms and legs. They had abrasions across their bodies. Rescue personnel provided first aid before taking the injured to Phimai Hospital for further treatment.
According to the victims, they were riding their motorcycle with a friend when two other teenagers on a motorcycle approached them. The attackers shouted at the victims before kicking their motorcycle, causing it to crash. The assailants then quickly fled the scene.
The injured youths confirmed that they did not know the attackers and had no idea why they were targeted in such a manner.
“We have no idea who they are or why they did this,” one of the victims said. “We were just riding along when they suddenly came at us.”
Police are now conducting further investigations and checking CCTV footage along the route where the attackers likely fled. They aim to identify and apprehend the suspects as quickly as possible to prevent any further incidents, reported KhaoSod.
The police are concerned that the perpetrators might cause more trouble if they are not caught soon. They are urging anyone with information related to the incident to come forward and assist with the investigation.
