An eyewitness stated what he saw.

“I saw a group of around 10 teenagers from two different factions arguing and shouting insults at each other near the U3-U4 buildings. After about five to 10 minutes, they started fighting, and then they all scattered. That’s when we found Bao lying in blood and called the police.”

Investigators, led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Phiphatphong Phuempun and Police Colonel Anan Worasat from Bang Khen Police Station, arrived at the scene alongside medical examiners from Bhumibol Hospital and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation. Their initial findings indicated that the assailants were local teenagers residing in the same condominium complex.

Officers are now in the process of identifying and apprehending the individuals involved, hoping to uncover the exact circumstances that led to the brawl and bringing those responsible to justice.

Police urged anyone with additional information or who witnessed the event to come forward to aid in the investigation. The community is advised to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities to the local police, reported KhaoSod.
