A drunken fight between two groups of men at a Restaurant in Sattahip led to shots being fired and one man sustaining a serious head injury early on Thursday morning. Sattahip Police were called in and were confronted by Chaotic scenes. Everyone involved in the incident, 6 local Navy recruits and 4 men from Kon Kaen Province in the North-East of Thailand were rounded-up and taken to the Police Station. A firearm which was snatched by one of the victims from one of the navy recruits was seized. Police determined that a fight between the two groups led to one of the local recruits pulling out a gun and shooting twice in the direction of the smaller group from Kon Kaen. During the altercation, Khun Boonchai aged 22, who had already been injured by a bottle which had been smashed over his head by one of the recruits, managed to disarm the shooter and turned the gun on the recruits who fled. No further shots were fired by the injured man who willingly handed the weapon to Police as soon as they arrived. Police are investigating the case and are preparing criminal charges against each of the 10 men involved in the fracas.
