In the early hours of Saturday Morning, Pattaya Police made their way to the Ferdinand Bar located in Soi Diana Inn to deal with a suspected assault on a foreigner.
At the scene, Police were met by Mr. Freddy Bent aged 47 from Denmark who claimed he was assaulted by a group of Thai Men following a confrontation with a street vendor. Mr. Bent, who sustained minor facial injuries, explained to Police that he was sitting at the Bar when a Thai Man approached him and suggested he take a picture with a snake.
Mr. Bent refused his offer; however the Thai Man was persistent which angered Mr. Bent, who then became involved in a physical altercation with the snake man, later named as Khun Thongchai aged 32.
He was also injured in the fight and claimed that Mr. Bent used abusive language towards him which led him to attack the Danish Bar Patron. Khun Thongchai was charged with assault and will appear in court next week.
