Rescue Volunteer Attacked by Gang in Rayong
A rescue volunteer was injured in a violent confrontation with a group of teenagers in Rayong province early Thursday morning.
On November 6, 2026, at approximately 01:30, a violent altercation occurred in front of a motorcycle repair shop on Chai Kra Pom 1 Road in Rayong’s Choeng Noen sub-district. According to Khaosod Online, a 24-year-old rescue volunteer named Mr. Apichart was attacked by a group of about ten teenagers while he was socializing with friends. The assailants reportedly arrived on four motorcycles, initiated a verbal confrontation, and subsequently assaulted the victim with a knife. Mr. Apichart sustained a facial wound requiring six stitches and was transported to Rayong Hospital for treatment. Another friend present at the scene also sustained injuries during the incident. Police from the Mueang Rayong Station have been notified and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the unprovoked attack. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the potential for sudden, localized violence in public areas during late-night hours. While the motive remains under investigation, the brazen nature of the assault in a public space serves as a reminder to remain vigilant when in social settings. Authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the suspects or whether any arrests have been made as the investigation continues.
