Pattaya: Brutal farang vs farang road rage assault caught on camera

PATTAYA:-- Shocking road rage footage shows the moment a western man floors another westerner with a single punch in a broad daylight attack.

 

The incident which is believed to have taken place in Pattaya was uploaded to a popular local Facebook page.

 

Based on the footage it is unclear who, if anyone, was at fault.

 

The victim in the incident can be seen approaching a black Toyota car.

 

The man the begins remonstrating with the front seat passenger who gets out of the vehicle. 

 

As the men continue to argue the victim appears to swing a punch at the passenger who then proceeds to throw two punches of his own - one knocking the other man out cold.

 

 

As he lays unconscious at the side of the road, people, presumably the man’s family rush to his aid. 

 

A young girl, perhaps no older than 5 years old and clearly traumatized by the incident can be heard screaming. As the man is helped back to his feet, a large wound can be seen across his forehead.

 

Meanwhile, a group of motorcycle taxi drivers block the vehicle from driving off.

 

The footage was uploaded to Facebook on Monday afternoon, although it is not immediately clear when the incident took place or if the police are aware of the assault.

 

We’ll bring you more information once we get it.

He didn't floor him with a single punch. 

[Kerryd 9,321]

The "victim" didn't "swing a punch". It looks like he slapped the top of the car door which p***** off the big guy.  They gave each other a shove then the big guy nailed the "victim" with a punch, missed with 2 more then connected with third one which sent the other guy to the ground.

Clearly locals were trying to stop the vehicle driving off until the police arrived, but I suppose it was a case of where are the police when you want them???

Note to self: don't pop off to a guy half my age and twice my size regardless whether I think I am right. 

Good to see the moto taxi guys made sure Rocky didn't leave the scene. 

Will be interesting to see what precipatated the event.

I didn't see the old fella throw anything other than words. Real brave to hit someone smaller and older, who was probably complaining about the driving.

So, No! he should not have thrown punches. He was NOT defending himself. He was assaulting someone.

May be you should try to watch the video again, this time with your glasses on.

 

But I help you a little.

He had a swing, whether at the car or the person is beside the point. Don't escalate a verbal argument with violence/the threat of violence unless you're prepared to back it up.

Has anybody got a link to the video that is being talked about?

[champers 9,782]

A bit of a scratch where the guy fell but no serious amount of blood. Sensationalist journalism (?) trying to make a lot out of not very much. The Thais need to keep out of it; blocking the road off and behaving like bad extras in a Thai soap.

Watched it again three times. The old fella gesticulates but I don't see him throw a punch. So I stand by my comment. The younger bigger fella assaulted him.

Hope he enjoys prison.

Actually in the real world you never (NO NEVER) pull someone to remonstrate about anything unless you are prepared and able to defeat them .

In a lot of Western social circles it is incumbent upon you to deal as harshly as possible with anyone with the temerity to pull you
