pdogg Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just before 3.30am on Thursday, Police and rescue services were called to Pattaya Beach in front of Soi 13/2 to deal with a serious assault on a British national by two men with Irish accents. Lying on the floor covered in blood and in a semi-conscious state was Mr. Alan Short aged 50 from Scotland. He had sustained facial injuries and had lost a considerable amount of blood from a wound inside his mouth and on his head. Witnesses described the two assailants to Police who were able to arrest them further up Pattaya Beach Road in front of the Royal Garden Plaza. Both men had Irish accents but refused to confirm if they were British or Irish Nationals and refused to give their names or date of births and were taken to Pattaya Police Station. Witnesses confirmed that Mr. Short was walking alone when he came into contact with the two suspects who were walking in the opposite direction. The two men became angry and allegedly set-upon Mr. Short until he was unconscious on the ground. The two men were later charged with assault as Mr. Short recovers in Hospital. http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/102303/scot-assaulted-irishmen-pattaya-beach/ Quote Link to comment
Guest Route65 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The victim of the assault is a Rangers fan, as he is wearing a Rangers away kit top, and quite an old one. If the perpetrators are indeed Irish, there is a distinct possibility that their footballing allegiances lie elsewhere. Possibly words were exchanged, and this led to the Rangers fan coming off worst. However, that is all purely speculation on my part. FYI: Rangers was a football club that was founded in 1872, was incorporated in 1899, and liquidated in July 2012. A new club (The Rangers) was formed, and now plays in the lower divisions of the Scottish league. 2 Quote Link to comment
