Thai immigration authorities have apprehended a Norwegian national wanted for a violent stabbing incident, following a police operation in the Bang Phli area.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 21, 2026, Thai immigration police have arrested a Norwegian national who was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice. The individual is accused of involvement in a stabbing incident that left a 15-year-old victim in critical condition.
Law enforcement officials located the suspect hiding in a condominium within the Bang Phli district. The operation was reportedly conducted under the directive of senior police officials, including Lieutenant General Noppasil Poonsawat, who has prioritized the tracking of international fugitives residing in Thailand.
