Rayong: A deranged man attacked a female rescue worker while she was providing first aid to a 12-year-old boy who had been assaulted by the same man over a motorcycle theft.
According to Thai News Agency, the video of the incident shows a shirtless, tattooed man assaulting and strangling the boy as paramedics try to intervene. The altercation occurred late last night in Soi 5, Lane 9, Nikhom Pattana District, Rayong Province. Rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation provided immediate assistance to the child, but the enraged perpetrator, still in a fit of anger, turned on Ms. Anchalee Porn, a female rescue worker, injuring her left cheekbone and causing swelling. The alleged motive for the attack was the man's anger over the boy stealing his motorcycle.
The husband of the injured rescue worker, disturbed by the assault, accompanied his wife to Nikhom Pattana Police Station to file a police report against the perpetrator. He presented a video clip as evidence and explained that while assisting the young victim, he had warned the assailant to cease his violent behavior because the injured child needed urgent medical care. The perpetrator, however, ignored the warnings and struck his wife, resulting in her swollen cheekbone. Consequently, the husband sought to press charges for the assault. Law enforcement officials are currently gathering evidence and plan to summon the male perpetrator for questioning and further legal proceedings.
