Yank stabbed on Pattaya Beach by BG

A 44-year-old American tourist was assaulted and stabbed on Pattaya
beach by a bar girl and who appeared to be her boyfriend early Saturday
morning, police said.

Pol Maj Sirapop Sukkasi of Tambon Pattaya police station, said Tony
Lindsey was severely injured during the attack at 2:30 am.

Lindsey suffered several knife wounds on his stomach, right side and
right arm, Sirapop said. He was also hit at his face.

Sirapop quoted a witness as saying that he saw the American walking
hand-in-hand from Soi 7 across the road to the beach.

While the two were sitting on the beach, a Thai man arrived at the
scene on a motorcycle. The woman and man were then seen as assaulting
the American with fists and knife before fleeing the scene on the
motorcycle.

Sirapop said police had yet to interrogate Lindsey and police thought
the woman might lure him to be robbed by her boyfriend at the beach.
