Thai mother pleads for justice after son assaulted in Samut Prakan
Motive of assault reportedly linked to missing turn signal
A Thai mother is seeking justice for her son, who was physically assaulted by a group of five to six attackers on a road in Samut Prakan province, near Bangkok. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
The victim’s mother contacted the local news Facebook page, ข่าวสารเมืองปราการ v2 (Mueang Prakan News v2), appealing for help in securing justice for her son. She stated that the attack occurred near Soi Mahawong Temple in the Phra Pradaeng district of Samut Prakan between 10.10pm and 10.30pm yesterday, July 24.
According to the mother, her son had been riding a motorcycle to deliver a parcel to a client when the assailants approached and launched an assault. She said her son sustained injuries to his face and head, forcing him to suspend his studies to receive ongoing medical treatment.
Both mother and son admitted they were unsure of the motive but suspected the attackers may have been angered when the victim made a turn without using his indicator.
The family reported the assault to Samrong Tai Police Station, but officers were unable to proceed with the case fully, as the victim could not identify the individual attackers.
The mother said she hoped the Facebook page would help spread the story and encourage members of the public to assist in identifying the suspects. She urged anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of the incident to come forward. People with relevant information can contact the Facebook page or the officers at Samrong Tai Police Station.
One Thai woman commented on the post, claiming she witnessed the assault and intervened to protect the victim. She assured the victim’s mother that she was willing to appear as a witness at the police station if required.
Other netizens criticised the police, questioning why officers were not taking a more active role in collecting evidence, stating that it should not be the victim’s responsibility.
