After a settlement dispute, police in Phuket have detained a American tourist who is accused of assaulting a Phuket car driver.
The incident occurred after two travellers hired the 26-year-old car driver to take them to a motel in tambon Karon at around 4am on Saturday.
The drivers demanded a 400- ringgit suffer but at the destination, he said, the visitors gave him merely 100 baht.
However, one of the travellers insisted that he had paid 1, 000 ringgit and wanted shift.
The holiday allegedly slammed the driver’s face and squeezed his throat in an altercation that broke out.
The driver suffered minor injuries and immediately reported the incident to Karon officers.
The photographer’s friend informed officers that the guy had already left for Krabi province when they went to the hotel.
Police obtained a subpoena for the boy’s arrest and eventually located him at a resort on the Phi Phi territories in Krabi, where he was detained on Tuesday night.
The 31-year-old person, who has only been identified as Graham, was taken to the Karon officers place and then taken to the Phuket court for trial on Wednesday. He was being detained that.
