At around 6pm at Vibharam Chaiprakarn Hospital, where the boy stabbed was being treated, about 20 of his friends arrived on motorcycles.

A doctor told them and a group of relatives that the man had died. This enraged his friends, who went on a rioting rampage.  They attacked the doctors and hospital staff, sending them fleeing in fear.

The rioting men damaged medical equipment; smashed glass doors and windows of the emergency ward; and whatever they could lay their hands on. The mob then learned that two injured members of the other gang were in Muangsamut Hospital. They abruptly left on motorcycles, heading for the other hospital.

About 7.30pm on Sunday they arrived at Muangsamut Hospital. Carrying lengths of wood and floor mops take from the other hospital. They then forced their way into the emergency ward where the two injured men were being treated. They then attacked the men’s friends and began destroying equipment and furniture.
