The man’s three friends assisted him, and when rescue workers arrived, they attempted to provide first aid. However, the injured tourist refused assistance, insisting the police arrive before he accepted help. Rescue workers then contacted Pattaya Police. His companions urged authorities to arrest the assailant and transport their friend to the hospital. The police responded quickly, taking the man to Pattaya City Hospital and advising him to file a formal complaint to pursue legal action.
A Thai woman, identified only as “Ae,” in her mid-20s, claimed to be part of the group involved. According to Ae, she and her friends were sitting on the beach when a group of Indian men, who had been drinking under a nearby coconut tree, approached them and asked for photos. Initially, they agreed. However, tensions rose during the fifth photo attempt when one of the Indian men allegedly groped her friend and made inappropriate advances. This led the woman’s husband to intervene, resulting in a heated exchange that escalated into physical violence, with the Indian man being punched.
A bystander recorded the incident, capturing the moment the tourist was struck and knocked unconscious on the beach. The video, now circulating online, includes commentary suggesting the Indian men had previously harassed the women. Authorities are continuing their investigation and have advised the injured tourist to file a formal complaint to ensure legal action is taken.
