Ex-Girlfriend Lures Victim Into Trap, New Boyfriend Attacks With Sharp Metal Scraper, Causing Serious Injuries
A man was stabbed in the back with a metal scraper and beaten by his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend and accomplices during an April 15 ambush in Chachoengsao, leaving him with a punctured lung and severe eye damage requiring surgery.
On April 25, 2025, at 6:06 PM, Ms. Ariya (surname withheld), 38, and her son Turbo, 18, a third-year welding vocational student from a Chachoengsao college, came forward to report an incident that occurred on April 15. The victim explained that his ex-girlfriend, whom he had broken up with five months prior, had recently contacted him through chat. Although initially concerned about complications with her new boyfriend, he agreed to meet her for dinner at the location where the attack took place.
When he arrived, a group of teenage males confronted him. Her new boyfriend used a sharp metal scraper to stab him in the back, narrowly missing his lungs, while others punched him in the face, temporarily blinding him. Despite bleeding heavily and unable to see, the victim managed to ride his motorcycle to safety and seek help from friends who took him to the hospital.
His left eye suffered severe damage requiring lens replacement surgery, with uncertain prospects for full vision recovery. He also sustained a punctured lung wound that required blood drainage and is still under treatment. The mother expressed two main concerns: her son's eyesight and the slow police investigation. She believes the attack was motivated by jealousy from the ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend and called on Nong Prue police to gather evidence and arrest the perpetrators quickly. She also appealed directly to the attackers to turn themselves in, questioning why they would hurt her son so severely and reminding them that her son deserved a better future.
