Overseasidol.com — Popular Thai singer Peck Palitchoke has been seriously injured after a knife attack at a gas station in Bangkok during the early hours of the morning.
Peck sustained a deep wound on his chin, resulting in significant bleeding, and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
As of August 4, Thai police announced that the case is not complicated, and the suspect has admitted to “excessive self-defense”.
The attacker now faces two charges: carrying a weapon without a permit and intentional bodily harm. He has been released on bail pending further legal proceedings.
Authorities have also requested the hospital to conduct alcohol and toxicology tests on Peck, to determine whether alcohol or other substances may have played a role in the incident.
Witnesses and the pickup truck driver involved in the altercation will also be summoned to clarify whether Peck’s behavior prior to the attack disrupted traffic or contributed to the situation.
CCTV footage circulating online shows Peck climbing onto the hood of a pickup truck, which sparked debate over whether his actions were provocative or inappropriate.
While no charges have been filed against him at this time, public opinion remains divided.
The suspect has not filed any counterclaims, and police assured the public they will handle the case with fairness and legal objectivity.
Social media footage also emerged showing Peck having dinner and singing with his team just hours before the incident.
He appeared to be in good spirits, further fueling speculation about what might have led to the conflict.
