Suspect Surrenders: Jealous Ex-Husband Rams Car Into New Husband, Injures Him and Flees with Former Wife
An ex-husband rammed his car into his successor on a Pathumthani road in May, injuring the new husband's hand before fleeing with his former wife; police arrested the suspect and are determining whether to charge him with assault or aggrava
Police received a report on May 13, 2025 of a vehicular collision and assault on Liam Prapa Road in Suan Prik Thai subdistrict, Mueang district, Pathumthani province. Officers found a damaged Toyota Innova with Bangkok license plates and identified the injured party as Thanit, 38, the new husband, who suffered a sharp object wound to the back of his left hand. The suspect was identified as Natchanan, 33, the ex-husband, who was driving an Isuzu pickup truck with Pathumthani license plates and initially fled the scene.
According to the mother of the injured man, she accompanied her son to file a report and undergo medical examination at Pathumthani Hospital. Police detained Natchanan for questioning.
Initially, the suspect claimed he acted out of anger after the injured party sent him a video clip of himself with the ex-wife to provoke him. The suspect stated he wanted the matter to be resolved amicably but expressed concern about the other party's local influence.
Police Commander Metsanan Nakhwan of Suan Prik Thai Police Station said that while they have the suspect in custody for questioning, formal charges have not yet been filed pending the doctor's injury assessment to determine if the charge should be assault or aggravated assault. Preliminary investigation indicates the incident stemmed from jealousy over infidelity, with both parties being well-acquainted. Once hospital confirmation and evidence collection are complete, the suspect will be formally charged and prosecuted.
