Phetchabun police arrested a gang of teenagers who attacked a young man in the middle of the road in front of his house, and brandished guns to warn others not to mess with him, even though they did not know each other.
Surveillance cameras captured a group of six teenagers riding a motorcycle before the long-haired man riding pillion got out and threatened an injured person sitting in front of the house with a gun. They then ganged up to attack him, kicking, punching and hitting the injured person in the head with a helmet. They also threatened people in the house with a gun to not interfere before the group of teenagers rode their motorcycles away. The incident occurred in a village in Soi Samakkhi Chai 7, Mueang District, Phetchabun Province.
The news team went to the scene and met Mr. Sittichok, 18 years old, who was the teenager who was attacked. He revealed that at around 5 pm yesterday (September 28), while he was washing his car in front of his house, two teenagers rode their motorcycles and looked
at him, but he ignored them because he did not know them. Then, about 5 minutes later, a group of motorcyclists rode up to him and came straight at him, saying, ‘Are you the one who told your younger brother to shoot my younger brother?’ He was confused about what it was, but before he could explain, he was grabbed by the collar of his shirt and dragged out into the middle of the road. They then surrounded him, kicked, punched him, and hit him with a helmet. He could only use his hands to cover his face. After a while, the group rode their motorcycles away. He admitted that he was very scared because one of them pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head before being dragged out into the middle of the road.
As for the group of teenagers who caused the incident, I don’t know them and have never had any fights before. After the incident, I went to file a complaint at Phetchabun City Police Station. The police recommended that I go for a physical examination at Phetchabun Hospital and made an appointment for m
e to meet again tomorrow.
The father of the injured person revealed that he lives in a different district with his son. After the incident, his son sent him a clip to watch, so he rushed to see his son. He also confirmed that he will take legal action to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of whose child it is.
Police said that fortunately, the injured person’s girlfriend used her phone to record the incident, and there was also footage from a CCTV camera, which gave a clear picture of the perpetrators. Officers have now tracked down and arrested almost all of them.
