A British man was injured in an angry mob attack after allegedly performing a wheelie on an electric dirt bike and crashing into a Thai woman’s motorcycle in Pattaya late Wednesday, resulting in serious injuries.
The crash happened around 11.06pm on Soi Bongkot 8 in Bang Lamung district.
Rescuers found a pink Honda Scoopy lying damaged in the middle of the road, with its rider, identified only as Jurairat, suffering a head injury and severe lacerations.
The rescue team performed CPR before rushing the 49-year-old woman to a hospital.
According to witnesses, they saw the British rider performing a wheelie before losing control and slamming into the woman's motorcycle.
However, witnesses said that the injured man blamed Ms Jurairat for the collision.
Angered by his response, the crowd turned on the rider and attacked him before police intervened and rescuers provided first aid.
Police were reviewing nearby CCTV footage to establish the cause and ensure fair proceedings for all parties.
