An unpleasant incident occurred late in the evening on Soi Buakhao near the Tree Town complex in Pattaya. According to motorcycle taxi driver Sumet Keuduangsaeng, he asked two foreigners to move a motorcycle that was blocking the entrance to a private property. However, instead of responding, the men, presumably from the Middle East, reacted aggressively. The victim claims that one of them hit him in the face and knocked him down. When the driver tried to sort out the situation, the second man joined the attack and began striking him from behind. Bystanders intervened and helped stop the fight, after which the attackers fled the scene. The victim was taken to a hospital. Medics diagnosed injuries to his face and leg. It is reported that the driver has a video recording of the incident, which he intends to hand over to the police. Law enforcement has already begun searching for the suspects.
