Teen injured in Narathiwat after bomb explodes in hand
An incident involving a young man and a bomb in Narathiwat province has sparked nationwide discussions online. The 18 year old was preparing to throw a ping pong bomb at an adversary during a confrontation in Su-ngai Kolok district on April 15 at 11pm when it exploded, severely injuring his hand.
The explosion left his wrist severely damaged, with him crying out in pain as he was transported to Su-ngai Kolok Hospital.
A man using the pseudonym A reported to the Su-ngai Kolok Police Station to clarify that the ping pong bomb involved in the incident did not belong to him. Instead, he claimed it was brought by the injured party.
According to A, a heated argument broke out between him and another group of teenagers. During the altercation, the injured man retrieved the bomb, seemingly ready to throw it. In response, A ran towards the man and punched him, causing him to fall. It was then that the bomb exploded in the man’s hand.
The police confirmed that A has documented his account as evidence, asserting that the explosive device was not his. Meanwhile, the injured individual remains in the hospital’s emergency room and has yet to be questioned by the police, reported KhaoSod.
