british tourist beaten up over bogus jetski damage ,PATTAYA
A British national who rented a Jetski from a Pattaya Beach operator
has been attacked and severely beaten following an argument over the victim having allegedly damaged the Jetski he had rented. Pattaya, the 19th of February 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 8:00pm on Friday, police Lieutenant Colonel Supphachai Puikumkaew (Pattaya Police Investigator) was confronted by Mr. David John Marshall [62], a British national. Mr. Marshall presented himself to Pattaya Police, suffering from a severely swollen face, black eye and broken tooth. He reported to police that he had been bashed by a group of Thai men after hiring a Jetski from a Pattaya Beach operator close to Soi 13 on Pattaya Beach Road. Mr. Marshall explained that he was staying, with a group of friends, at the Heaven Hotel in Soi 13, Pattaya Beach Road. Before the attack occurred, Mr. Marshall and his 3 friends had been approached by a group of Thai men who offered them to rent some jetski’s at a cost of 1,400 baht per person for 1 hour. Agreeing and paying the money the group then rode the jetski’s around in Pattaya Bay for approximately 1 hour before returning to the beach. It is alleged that once the group had returned the jetski’s the operators inspected the vehicles, before explaining that Mr. Marshall will have to pay for damages done to the bottom of the Jetski he was riding. Mr. Marshall claims, that he calmly tried to explain to the operator that he was not responsible for any damage evident on the Jetski, as he had not been involved in an accident or hit anything in the water. He subsequently refused to pay the man any money for the damages. The argument became very heated, ending with the three Thai Jetski operators attacking Mr. Marshall before another two Thai men walking past the incident also joined in on the attack. Mr. Marshall was able to escape the onslaught, but not before being hit several times in the face causing him numerous injuries. Officers obtained Mr. Marshall’s statement before sending him to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital for treatment. An investigation will commence in an attempt to apprehend the 5 offenders. Note: The Pattaya Daily News team will investigate this incident further in an attempt to uncover the whole story, which in our opinion, at present appears rather vague. News : Kong Siptis |
