Mothers of seven teenagers who assaulted a Japanese tourist near Makkasan Airport Rail Link Station broke down in tears and expressed remorse. One mother claimed her son, previously a good child, was influenced by negative peer pressure. Police arrested the seven suspects, aged 13 to 17, after the attack on August 12. The Japanese man, 43, sustained head, mouth, and leg injuries and is now stable.
The teens claimed they only obtained 1,400 baht from the crime and divided it evenly. Their mothers attributed their children's actions to insufficient supervision due to long work hours. Questioning began at 9am at Makkasan Police Station, involving a multidisciplinary team due to all suspects being minors. Police still need to interview the victim before concluding the case, and the suspects were to be sent to juvenile court on the same day.
