NAKHON RATCHASIMA — A Myanmar national was found seriously injured with a stab wound beside a railway line near Jira railway station in northeastern Thailand, police said.
Police in Nakhon Ratchasima province said they were alerted on the evening of May 20 to a stabbing near the railway tracks on Jira Road in Muang district.
Officers led by Pol. Col. Sirichai Srichaipanya, superintendent of Muang Nakhon Ratchasima Police Station, arrived at the scene with rescue workers and found a seriously injured man on the ground clutching a bag.
The victim, identified as 35-year-old Myanmar national Aung Kyaw Soe, had suffered a serious stab wound to the right side of his chest, authorities said.
Rescue workers administered first aid before taking him to Maharaj Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital for treatment.
Police said clothing and alcohol bottles were found at the scene, but no knife or suspect was located. Investigators believe the attacker may not have fled far and are searching for the person responsible.
Local residents said the area is used as an informal rubbish dumping site, where discarded sofas and other items attract homeless people seeking shelter.
One resident said they heard cries for help coming from near a rubbish pile beside an old sofa. After crossing the road to investigate, they found the injured man on the ground and contacted police and emergency responders.
The witness said they did not see the attacker and only found the victim at the scene.
