“Thai bar girl tricked me” cries Korean as he self-harms with knife

A Korean man who claimed he had been conned by a Thai bar girl started cutting himself with a knife.

Bathed in blood fifty four year old Jae Hoo Kim was eventually taken down when back-up arrived.

Earlier Monday evening a Pattaya police patrol had been alerted to an argument near an Esso gas station in South Pattaya.

Kim was arguing with a Thai woman then ran off. He was cornered then drew a fruit paring knife and warned officers not to come near and started cutting his own head and neck.

He said: “I have been conned by a bar girl – I don’t like Thai girls”, reported 77jowo.

Back-up, medics and a Korean interpreter were called before police mounted a charge and took down the Korean.

He was given first aid, taken to hospital and then charged with drunkenness.
