A Vietnamese woman was admitted to hospital for stitches on New Year’s Day after the tip of a bullet hit her in the head, according to her Thai friend who went public with the story yesterday.
A Thai woman, only identified as Dew, said she took her friend to the elevated walkway above Ratchadamri Road to enjoy the New Year’s Eve countdown at Central World.
Suddenly, her Vietnamese friend said her head hurt. Dew took her to the first aid tent at the event. The medical team there then transferred her to the Police Hospital, saying she needed stitches.
It turned out that the tip of a bullet had hit her in the head, according to the doctor who gave the tourist a part of the bullet as a souvenir. The woman filed a police report at Pathumwan Hospital.
Dew said she had to go public with the story to warn people because Central World is one of Bangkok’s major landmarks to spend New Year’s Eve, Morning News reported.
