A contractor was attacked by a gang of approximately five to six armed men while sitting drinking in front of his home in a residential community in Uthai District, Ayutthaya Province. Four men were injured in the assault, with two in serious condition.
According to Udomsakdi Nari, 27, one of the victims, he and seven fellow contractors who install sprinkler systems were drinking after work in front of their residence when a group of men approached armed with machetes and baseball bats. Without warning or explanation, the attackers immediately began assaulting them. The victims fled for their lives, resulting in four injuries, two of which were serious.
Udomsakdi stated that his group had no previous conflict with the attackers and were unaware of any reason for the assault. They were simply drinking quietly and causing no disturbance.
The wife of one injured man recounted witnessing the attack, including seeing her boyfriend beaten with a baseball bat. She observed another victim, Adul, face-down on the ground being stabbed repeatedly in the back. She pleaded with the attackers to stop, but they continued their assault before fleeing.
Local residents who witnessed the incident reported seeing a woman retrieve what appeared to be a firearm and tuck it into her waist during the chaos, though they could not confirm any transfer of the weapon or definitively identify a gunshot. One loud sound resembling a gunshot was heard, but authorities are still investigating whether it was an actual firearm discharge.
Residents also disclosed that the alleged attackers regularly gather to drink and are known for aggressive behavior, often intimidating passersby and drivers, creating a climate of fear in the community.
Closed-circuit camera footage from the residential community captured the assault, though the camera angle prevented clear identification of the perpetrators' faces. Another camera recorded the group sitting drinking at a tent in front of the residence prior to the incident. Police continue their investigation of the crime scene and evidence.
