Russian woman slashes her throat in Patong convenience store

The videos of a 41 year old Russian woman trying to cut her own throat inside a 7-11 in Patong have gone viral. The videos were captured on the store’s CCTV as well as staff mobile phones.

The videos show a woman wearing a yellow-black shirt and black trousers cutting her throat in front of a fridge at a store in front of witnesses who tried to stop her. She ended up with deep wounds and losing a lot of blood. She was taken to Patong Hospital after store staff called Patong Police. At the hospital she ended up with 60 stitches but is in a stable condition now following the ordeal.

She has been transferred to Vachira Hospital but still refuses to provide police or tourist police any information or discuss the incident. Police learned from witnesses that she stays at a hotel near the store and stayed in her room with little interaction from hotel staff or other travellers.

The Director of Vachira Hospital, Chalermpong Sukonthapon, said that she remains in a stable condition. The self-imposed wound on her neck was 0.5 cm deep and she also self-harmed with two other wounds on both her arms.
