After random acts of violence against strangers at Siam Paragon mall & on subway, so-called Siam Gangster tracked down, arrested & whacked on his head at police press conference.
Siam Gangster arrested: Police track down man behind attacks on strangers
"Can Thai police help ordinary citizens like us," one netizen wrote in a comment on two bizarre attacks on strangers in public places by a mystery man dubbed the "Siam Gangster" or "Mafia Siam" (มาเฟียสยาม).
The first victim of the Siam Gangster was a child and the second a woman.
This led one netizen to comment: "Hitting women? Picking on children? What a coward and a weakling. Put him in the ring [ boxing ring ] for 3 minutes with another adult male and watch him cry like a baby."
It turns out that the so-called Siam Gangster is not really of Siam at all. After his arrest Weerapan Inthawong 38, was identified as a Laos national who entered Thailand illegally and lived in the Silom area. (see here and here).
