Pattaya —
A Swiss man has been arrested in Pattaya after a viral video showed him kicking a Thai national in the face during a late-night altercation on a Pattaya road that looked to be a road rage incident.
In the early hours of March 15th, a brawl between a Thai national and a foreigner occurred in Pattaya. The incident was captured on video by a bystander before going viral on social media.
The footage showed the foreigner kicking the Thai individual in the face, causing injuries. At 1:06 PM on March 17th, Pattaya Police and Chonburi Immigration arrested Mr. Buhler, a 35-year-old Swiss national, suspected of being the foreigner in the video. He was apprehended at a residence in Soi Pratamnak.
According to police, the suspect admitted to being the person in the video. He explained that before the incident, the Thai individual, whose identity remains unknown, had accidentally hit him with a motorcycle, which led to an argument.
The confrontation escalated when the Thai national allegedly struck Mr. Buhler with a helmet, resulting in the altercation seen in the video.
Authorities have charged Mr. Buhler with assault and handed him over to investigators for further legal proceedings. Police are still searching for the Thai individual to hear his side of the story as of press time.
