Two farang have altercation after scooter incident, 'Swedish tourist' arrested ......

A British man was killed with a single karate chop to the neck after a moped road rage row with a Swedish tourist in Thailand.

The 57-year-old had been riding the rented scooter along Prachanukhro Road in Phuket, when he clashed with the Swede on Wednesday evening.

Allegedly, one of the men abruptly cut in front of the other, leading to the fatal confrontation in an alleyway.

Shocking CCTV footage shows the victim backing away as a man strikes him to the ground at around 5pm, delivering a deadly martial arts style chop.

The assailant has been identified as 29-year-old Pektas Tuguy Tayyar, who was arrested and charged by police.

The video shows a woman - apparently the attacker's girlfriend - attempt to intervene to stop the fight, but the man seemed to ignore her protests as he delivered a powerful blow using the underside of his hand to the British man's head.

The holidaymaker, who also had Australian nationality, was instantly knocked out by the brutal strike, his head whipping to the side and his sunglasses flying as he collapsed unconscious on the street.

I'll never figure out why people resort to violence in the happiest place on Earth.

May the victim RIP.

The poor girl did her level best to stop her BF. This 29 year big guy struck a 57 year year old who was backing away and not even posing a threat. I hope he never leaves Thailand.

Because when you get completely drunk, you lose touch with reality.

That doesn’t excuse violence, I have seen many people get completely drunk often, I may even do it myself and may lose touch with reality, but them and I never get violent. For most the violent tendency is always there, sober or not.

I just saw the video and just goes to show what could happen in a street fight from something as simple as a slap, that itself can have a lot of force behind it.

I hope they lock away the key and he doesn’t weasel himself out of this.
