Violence Erupts at Pattaya Hotpot Restaurant: Beer Glass Brawl Sends Three to Hospital
A night out at a popular hotpot restaurant in Pattaya turned chaotic when a verbal dispute escalated into a violent brawl, resulting in three individuals being hospitalized. The incident, which occurred earlier this week, has raised concerns about rising violence in the city’s nightlife scene.
Details of the Incident
The altercation began as a seemingly innocuous argument between a transgender woman and a female diner, who was accompanied by her brother. Eyewitnesses reported that the disagreement quickly intensified, leading to physical confrontations. The situation escalated dramatically when the transgender woman allegedly kicked the female diner in the face, striking her right eyebrow.
In retaliation, the woman grabbed a beer glass and hurled it at the transgender individual, causing a cut near her nose. The violence did not stop there; the woman’s brother, identified only as “Not,” attempted to intervene but ended up injured himself. He suffered a deep laceration to his wrist from the flying glass, narrowly avoiding a serious injury to a major artery.
Police Response and Investigation
Upon receiving reports of the brawl, officers from Patrol Unit 1, Area 5 of Pattaya City Police Station rushed to the scene. They arrived to find a chaotic environment filled with broken glass, blood, and shocked patrons. The police managed to de-escalate the situation with assistance from friends of those involved.
All three injured parties were promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Despite attempts to resolve the matter amicably at the restaurant, the case has now been handed over to the Pattaya City Police Station for further legal proceedings.
Community Concerns
This incident has sparked discussions about the increasing violence in Pattaya’s nightlife, a city known for its vibrant entertainment scene. Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the altercation or has information about the incident to come forward. They can contact Pattaya City Police Station through their official Facebook page or by calling the emergency numbers provided.
As the investigation continues, the community is left to reflect on the implications of such violent outbursts in public spaces and the need for measures to ensure the safety of patrons in the bustling nightlife of Pattaya.
