An Iranian man was injured when the teenage pimp for a South Pattaya
prostitute smashed him with a bottle after an argument over the price of
services.
Police arrived at Bali Hai Pier around 12:45 a.m. Aug. 20 to find the
unidentified 17-year-old restrained on the ground by police volunteers
who came to the aid of 32-year-old Farhad Yazdan Damst.
Bleeding from the head, Damst told police he had been staying in an
apartment on Soi Arunothai when he’d gone for a stroll at Bali Hai.
There he was approached by a woman and, quickly thereafter, a group of
five to 10 Thai men who began assaulting him. Volunteers managed to grab
only one.
Damst was given four stitches for the head wound at an area hospital.
