Police arrested a 17-year-old Thai man for allegedly
stabbing an elderly German during a dispute over a parking spot.
Rudy Haneman, 76, suffered a deep wound to the abdomen in
the 2 a.m. attack in front of the P.S. Hotel on Beach Road at Soi 13/3.
Shortly after, investigators apprehended the teenager,
identified only as “Korn” and his 27-year-old girlfriend at the Kingston
Hotel on Sukhumvit Road. The Chachoengsao resident, who earned money as a
trash scavenger, was captured with a bloody 10 cm. blade.
Police claim Korn confessed to the stabbing, explaining
that he attacked the German in self-defense after two of the senior citizens
friends attacked him. The fight started after Korn moved Haneman’s
motorbike, which was blocking his exit from a parking spot at the hotel. He
said the German got angry that the teen moved his bike and began assaulting
him verbally and physically.
