One man was injured after a knife fight broke out near Walking Street over 500 baht.

Isara Lertchai, 27, suffered cuts to his left ear and fingers in the Sept. 23 fracas near the old pier. Klitsana Srisaiyud, 32 of Bangkok, was found by police still wielding the knife when they arrived.

Both men were taken to Banglamung Hospital for treatment.

Police said Klitsana claimed the fight broke out when he approached Isara, demanding 500 baht that the Pattaya man’s “girlfriend” supposedly had stolen from him. Angry words then turned to punching and slashing.

Klitsana Srisaiyud is wrestled into the police pickup to be escorted to the station for interrogation.Klitsana Srisaiyud is wrestled into the police pickup to be escorted to the station for interrogation.
