An African man in a hurry ended up the victim of road rage after a
gang of Thai men broke his windshield.
Alaba Afesoc Rached, a gem exporter from the Ivory Coast, called police Feb.
12 to report that a group of several men pounded on his Ford sedan and broke
the windscreen near a 7-Eleven on Pratamnak Soi 4.
The victim said he was driving on Pratamnak Road behind a slow-moving car
and decided to accelerate and overtake it. He then parked at the convenience
store. But before he could exit the vehicle, three to four angry Thai men
began pounding on the car and broke the windshield.
Frightened, he ran into the store to call police. Investigators are
reviewing security footage to try and identify the assailants.
