2 foreign men intervene alleged harassment on Bangkok footpath
Two foreign men were praised by Thai social media users after stepping in to help a woman from harassment on a footpath in Sathorn, Bangkok, yesterday, April 7.
The Facebook page, พระราม 3 ต้องรอด, or Rama III Must Survive, shared footage of the incident with a warning to people in the area. In the caption, the page said…
“A man who appeared to be mentally ill grabbed the woman’s arm before moving ahead and waiting for her to pass. The two foreigners stayed to ensure her safety.”
The video did not show the moment the man allegedly grabbed the woman’s arm. In the footage, the woman, who was wearing a pink shirt, appeared frightened as she walked slowly and tried to keep her distance from a man dressed in black who was standing on the footpath.
As she attempted to walk past him, two foreign men in dark blue shirts were seen approaching from the opposite direction.
One of the men, who was wearing a black cap, appeared to notice her behaviour, alerted his companion, and then stood in front of the suspect so the woman could continue walking safely.
The incident was reported to have taken place near a bus stop outside Bangkok Christian College and the entrance to Pan Road in Sathorn.
The footage later spread widely on social media, where many Thai users praised the foreigners for their actions. Several commenters suggested the woman may have used a hand signal to ask for help, as the man in the cap appeared to look towards her before intervening.
Others called on police or other relevant agencies to identify the suspect and determine whether medical or legal action should be taken.
As of now, no update has been issued by officials responsible for the area regarding the man’s identity or any further safety measures.
In a similar report, a foreign man became a hero among Thai internet users after a video of him waking up locals and helping them to evacuate a burning building in Bangkok went viral in March. The man’s identity remains undisclosed.
