Tourist injured in Pattaya attack
PATTAYA – A tourist and a security guard were injured by a man armed with a machete-like weapon at a Pattaya shopping mall in the early hours of Monday morning.
Police using rubber bullets and high-powered water jets eventually subdued the man.
The 26 year-old assailant was seen prowling in front of popular Mike Shopping Mall armed with a one foot-long knife.
He attacked suddenly, slashing the tourist on the arm and severely injuring a security guard who tried to intervene.
The Pattaya Daily News reported that the two victims were subsequently taken to Pattaya Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment.
