Woman Slashes Boyfriend's Neck in Udon Thani Dorm Dispute

On October 27, 2026, the 191 emergency center in Udon Thani received a report of a violent altercation between a man and a woman at a dormitory in Mak Khaeng subdistrict, Mueang Udon Thani district. The woman allegedly used a knife to wound the man on the neck. Police from Mueang Udon Thani station were dispatched to investigate.

At the scene, officers found Mr. Bas, 35, standing in front of the dormitory with a long but not deep laceration on his neck, bleeding. Ms. Pat, 28, was standing near her room door. Both were still arguing loudly. Police intervened to separate them and took the man to hospital for treatment.

Initial questioning revealed the room belonged to the man. The couple had been together for about six months. Before the incident, they had a verbal dispute. The woman claims the man assaulted her first; she was holding a knife at the time and slashed his neck to defend herself.

Ms. Pat said she works as a PR staffer at a restaurant while her boyfriend is a drummer. They had frequent misunderstandings, which she attributed to his jealousy. She stated that before the slashing, he entered her room, grabbed her legs, and kicked her three times, provoking her to grab a knife and slash his neck. She insisted she did not use excessive force.

Additionally, Ms. Pat disclosed that about two weeks earlier, Mr. Bas had allegedly assaulted her around the eye, causing injuries that required a week of hospitalization. She presented photos of the injuries as evidence. She said if he wishes to press charges, he may do so, as she believes her actions were self-defense. Following the incident, Ms. Pat said she intends to move out and end the relationship quickly.

The facts surrounding the altercation and assault allegations remain under police investigation. The self-defense claim is currently the woman's statement and will be weighed against witness testimony and evidence from both sides.
