Police in Pattaya are on the hunt for a male suspect who shot a 35-year-old chicken and rice vendor yesterday.
Sakphadung Benjakul, owner of Boss Chicken Rice, located on Pattaya’s Theppasit Road, told police that the shooting followed an argument he had with a customer concerning chicken rice sauce. Sakphadung said that he refused to provide more sauce to the man, who was eating chicken rice with his girlfriend. While Sakphadung was clearing a nearby table, he accidentally knocked over the man’s sauce cup, which precipitated the fight.
The patron fled the shop only to return shortly thereafter with a 9mm pistol, which he fired at Sakphadung.
Fortunately, the bullet only grazed the vendor’s head, causing him a slight injury.
Police will gather more evidence in order to catch the shooter, Channel 7 reported.
