A British man has been stabbed during a brawl outside a beach club near the city of Phuket in Thailand in the early hours of this morning.
Louis Johe Jarvie suffered a knife wound in his right arm after he got into a fight with a ‘large foreign man’ in Bang Tao beach, in Cherng Talay, which is a popular destination for foreigners.
The 34-year-old was taken to Thalang Hospital, where he is still recovering from his injuries.
Than Sirichai, a volunteer paramedic, said: ‘At around 12.1 am, we received a report that a foreign national had been injured in a stabbing incident, sustaining multiple severe bleeding wounds.
‘Upon arrival, we found a British man sitting on the ground. He was barely conscious and required constant stimulation to stay awake.’
A hunt is now ongoing to trace his attacker, who fled the scene before the police arrived.
‘Witnesses said they saw a large foreign man stab the British man in the arm,’ the force said in a statement. ‘The victim is now feeling better but is not ready to respond.’
Authorities are now reviewing CCTV footage and questioning witnesses to identify and apprehend the suspect.
Lt Col Kittipong admitted that they still not have a description of the man as ‘visibility at the beach was poor at the time,’ local media reported.
The incident follows a series of recent tourist deaths in Phuket, which has raised concerns about safety and security.
