Police have arrested a southern Thailand man for allegedly stabbing an Omani tourist in September.
Thewarit Nu-urai, 24, was arrested in his hometown of Pattalung Oct. 31.
Tourist Police Col. Suppapol Arunsith said Thewarit was working as a Walking Street tout and stabbed Mohammed Siekmuhammed Sajalil Hal Hanfari, 32, in the stomach outside Hooty’s Showbar in South Pattaya. Hanfari has since recovered and returned home.
Police said Thewarit confessed to the attack, explaining he’d stabbed the Omani in self-defense. Police said the tout had charged Hanfari to take him to an “explicit” show and delivered him to Hooty’s. Finding the fare rather tame, the Omani emerged displeased and demanded a refund. A verbal argument led to a physical one Thewarit said he felt he was too small to fight off the foreigner. So he stabbed him and ran away.
He was charged with assault and weapons possession.
