Pattaya police narrowly escaped injury after a youth gang dropped a motorbike from the Bali Hai Pier flyover.

The officers were headed toward the pier around 3 a.m. Sept. 30 when the red-and-black Honda Wave crashed to earth just a meter from their moving patrol car. No one was injured.

Witnesses reported that two youth gangs were fighting on the 7-meter-tall flyover when, possibly seeing the patrol car approaching below, broke off the fight, with one group leaving behind the bike. The rival gang then dropped their vehicle over the side.

Police recovered registration information for the damaged motorbike’s owner and, certain he’s familiar with his attackers, will question him to capture the moto-hurler.
