PATTAYA: A Chinese person, 27, died after being stabbed by a British-Thai person, 36, in a roadside battle early Sunday morning.

According to eyewitnesses, the Asian man and a Thai man had previously attempted to stop the British-Thai man from verbally abusing the latter’s girlfriend. The Chinese gentleman was punched in the face by the Thai-Briton.

The Chinese national then punched him again, and the dual national then drew a knife and stabbed the Asian male in the breasts.

A nearby hospital later declared the Chinese national useless. The British-Thai gentleman, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested.
