webfact Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Phuket police hunting for suspects who attacked an ambulance – VIDEO By Kritsada Mueanhawong VIDEO: Detnarong Songsang Phuket police are hunting for suspects who tried to stop an ambulance and attack rescue workers. They have good photos of the attackers and say it will be easy to track them down. The Wichit Police were notified of the incident earlier in the week. 41 year old Detnarong Songsang, a rescue worker, was driving the ambulance through the Darasamut Underpass. Two suspects on a motorbike chased after the ambulance when the rescue worker driving the vehicle beeped their horn at them. One of them threw a solid item at the ambulance and then tried to use a sharp steel rod to stab at the driver and damage the ambulance.

richard_smith237 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I wonder what would have happened when in his own defense the ambulance driver simply swerves and knocks the guys off their bike. The owners of these over-inflated-egos who over react in such a violet manner seem to be an ever growing danger to society... with no active policing to keep these characters in check they rein free with little fear of repercussion. We saw this recently with a BMW driver who lacked the emotional tools to deal with his failings on the road and was unable to handle someone beeping their horn at him. If someone gets out of their car or tries to attack you while driving, especially if they have a weapon in their hands, how reasonable is it to protect yourself and ram them???? You can't say these situations don't happen to you, they do, they've happened to me, when driving, someone seems angry because they can't undercut in heavy traffic etc... then when they do get in front they stop and block you because of some perceived slight... This happened to me, but the guy didn't get out - I wonder what I would have / could have done had they got out and tried to attack me - With a child in my car I think I may have just tried to drive off and if they got in my way thats their fault (the keyboard warrior in me thinks so anyway).

PJPom Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Using a car to remove yourself from a threat situation is extremely questionable and in the west will inevitably result in charges. I can totally understand the action but remember that hitting someone with a couple of tons of metal will result in injuries if not death, can you justify this result. After having said all the sensible things I still sympathise with people who run through so called protesters who display absolute contempt for others rights. People who threaten violence in road rage instances,stand in the road at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcsw53 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Possession of several offensive weapons and bullets. Outstanding citizens, shame that they are braindead. Should be rewarded with 5 years, but being Thailand a slap on the wrist will suffice, it was just road rage after all. Awaiting tomorrow's videos with more of the same.????

saigonsunset Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I find it absolutely amazing that in Thailand you will be arrested if carrying with you a bullet proof vest, as it is considered a weapon of war (!?) yet wielding an axt, baseball bat, knife or even gun in traffic never seems to result in any serious charges!
