Police said that the victim was Asst. Prof. Dr. Jirawat Chewaroungroaj, the 49-year-old Deputy Dean for planning and development. Jirawat was attacked in front of the Department of Mining and Petroleum building.
Doctors said that Jirawat received 20 stiches on his back and arms and remained in critical condition.
