‘Mahmoud’ is an Egyptian tourist allegedly stabbed by a Thai man, according to sketchy reports.
Witnesses claim the stabbing was a result of an argument over the price of roti at a road-side vendor stall.
The street is a popular haunt for fitness-tourists with many muay thai and other gyms, health retreats and healthy food cafes in the area.
