Fight Over a Woman on the Road: Pickup Truck Slams into Sedan, Man Stabbed and Ex-Girlfriend Dragged Away
A man was stabbed while trying to stop his ex-girlfriend from being dragged into a pickup truck that had rammed his sedan on a Pathum Thani road on May 12.
On May 12, 2569, Officer Khwanchamal Promma of Suan Phrik Thai Police Station in Pathum Thani received a report of a vehicle collision with an assault victim injured near Liap Prapa Road, Suan Phrik Thai Subdistrict. At the scene, officers found a white Toyota Innova with severe front-end damage, its radiator burst and unable to move. A Thai dog was found barking in the rear of the vehicle. The driver, 38-year-old Thanit (surname withheld), sustained a laceration wound on the back of his left hand from a sharp object.
According to Thanit's account, he was driving with his girlfriend and pet dog to get food when, at a curve, an Isuzu D-Max pickup truck with a solid cargo bed rammed his vehicle forcefully. The ex-boyfriend of the woman then exited the pickup and violently dragged her into his vehicle. While attempting to intervene and prevent the abduction, Thanit was slashed with a knife. The entire incident was captured on his dash camera. He has pledged to pursue legal action for assault and property damage.
Thanit's mother revealed that her son called to report the assault. She learned that the woman had only stayed with her son for two nights due to family problems before the ex-boyfriend came and forcibly took her. Police have documented the victim's statement, arranged a medical examination for evidence, and are reviewing CCTV footage along the suspected escape route to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrator.
