Foreign man attacks Phuket woman for honking while crossing road
A Thai woman is seeking justice after a foreign man attacked her for honking her horn at him while he was crossing a road in Phuket.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, shared details of the assault with the Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์ today, February 4. The incident occurred at 9.10pm on Saturday, February 1. The page reported…
“This foreigner in Phuket was too easily provoked by a car horn. A Thai woman seeks justice after honking at the foreigner as a warning, only to be physically assaulted.”
In the comments section, the page shared a picture of the injured woman, whose left arm was in a sling. It was reported that the incident took place at the Slaughterhouse Intersection in the Mueang Phuket district.
According to the woman, she saw a foreign man crossing the road while she was approaching on her motorcycle. To warn him of the potential danger of reckless crossing, she honked her horn, causing him to stop ahead of her motorcycle.
The woman said the foreigner stared at her, so she honked again to make him move out of the road. In a fit of rage, the foreigner then rushed at her and assaulted her.
She stated that the foreign man walked away, leaving her injured on the road. Determined not to let him go, she attempted to chase after him on her motorcycle but he continued walking away. He eventually entered a dark alley, which made her feel unsafe, so she gave up on the chase.
The victim said she went to Vachira Phuket Hospital to obtain a medical certificate before filing a complaint with the police. She also attempted to obtain CCTV footage of the incident but police informed her that the security cameras at the scene were broken.
She insisted that she had a short video and a photograph clearly showing the identity of the foreign suspect. However, the case made no progress, so she shared it with the news agency.
Some Thai netizens expressed the view that the foreign man was absolutely in the wrong for physically assaulting the woman. However, others argued that she should not have honked at a pedestrian crossing the road and should have simply stopped to let him pass.
