Wichit Police received a report about a knife fight with injuries in front of a house in Soi 3, Moo Baan Irrawaddy 1, in Moo 6, Wichit, at 10pm. Officers quickly arrived at the scene.
According to witness statements, the incident began at about 8pm, when Kritsana Boonthanachot was riding a motorcycle with Anuson Sukkhao, 26, as a passenger.
While traveling on a road between Moo Baan Irrawaddy 1 and 2, their motorcycle was cut off by Pornpot U-chi, 37, leading to a heated argument.
Later, at around 9:40pm, Phonprasert allegedly returned to the scene and kicked over Kritsana’s motorbike before fleeing.
Kritsana, Anuson and Sirawich Meeko, 26, followed Pornpot to his house to confront him.
The confrontation escalated when Pornpot retrieved a “knife” ‒ more resembling a ceremonial sword complete with an inscription with Chinese characters ‒ about 1.5 feet long from his home, sparking a violent scuffle.
During the fight, all three men sustained knife wounds, with Pornpot suffering a deep slash wound to the neck.
He was found unconscious at the scene and received emergency medical assistance from the Kusoldharm rescue workers before being taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital.
Meanwhile, Kritsana and his friends sought medical treatment at the same hospital.
Officers seized the knife as evidence and are continuing the investigation to pursue legal action against those involved, police reported.
