We found them riding their motorcycles along the Chiang Mai-Lampang Superhighway heading towards the Maya intersection. When we reached the opposite side of Wat Chet Yot, there was a group of about 5 teenagers riding 2 motorcycles heading towards the Khwang Sing intersection. So, we honked our horns at them. The group of teenagers driving the opposite way shouted at them to expose their private parts and gave them the middle finger. So, we made a U-turn before reaching Maya. The victimized group of teenagers turned left onto Photharam Road. So, they chased after them on Ban Phae Road. Then, one of the group rode their motorcycles, honked their horns, and cut them off. They were able to catch up with the victim's last car, which consisted of 2 men and 1 woman. The other car escaped. Then, they ganged up on and physically assaulted the victim before they all went their separate ways.Initially, the police invited the parents to meet and inform them of their children's behavior before pressing charges against the group of 18 teenagers on charges of jointly causing physical harm to others, resulting in serious injury to the victim, gathering in groups of ten or more, using force to harm, threatening to use force to harm, or doing something to cause chaos in the country, and committing the crime of being a den of robbers. - Thai News AgencySource: Thai News Agency
