CHONBURI — Police have launched an intensive manhunt following a violent confrontation that left a Polish national fighting for his life. The incident, which occurred on the evening of April 10, 2026, has sent shockwaves through the quiet community of Bang Sare.
The peaceful atmosphere near the Khao Chi Chan School in Sattahip was shattered around 7:50 PM when residents witnessed a terrifying scene. According to local police reports, 54-year-old Mr. Michal, a tourist from Poland, was found stumbling through the area with a deep stab wound to his chest.
Witnesses reported seeing a heated argument break out in the distance before the victim ran toward bystanders, covered in blood and gasping for air. The sight caused immediate panic among locals, who rushed to call emergency services.
Upon receiving the alert, Pol. Col. Komsan Kamtunkaew, Superintendent of the Sattahip Police Station, arrived at the scene alongside Bang Sare village leaders and rescue teams.
First responders from the Sattahip Rescue Foundation provided emergency first aid to stabilize the victim, whose breathing was shallow and erratic. He was quickly transferred to the Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital for urgent surgery.
Medical staff have described his condition as critical, but are working around the clock to stabilize him.
Key Points of the Police Investigation
Preliminary investigations suggest that this was not a solo attack. Police have identified two primary suspects currently on the run:
- Victim: Mr. Michal, 54, Polish national.
- Location: Near Khao Chi Chan School, Bang Sare, Sattahip.
- Suspects: One Thai female and one foreign male.
- Status: Suspects are at large; the victim is in critical condition at Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital.
- Police Action: Ongoing CCTV review and neighborhood sweeps.
Evidence suggests the pair acted together before fleeing the scene immediately after the stabbing. While the motive remains unclear, investigators believe the suspects may still be armed and dangerous, likely carrying the weapon used in the assault.
The Sattahip Police Department, supported by local government officials, has cordoned off the area and is currently reviewing CCTV footage from surrounding businesses and traffic checkpoints.
“We are treating this with the highest priority,” a police spokesperson stated. “Our investigative teams are working to track the escape route of the suspects. We urge anyone with information to come forward immediately.”
The attack comes at a sensitive time for Chonburi, as the region prepares for the annual Songkran festival. Local officials have recently emphasized the importance of tourist safety, and this violent outburst has prompted a call for increased patrols in Bang Sare and surrounding tourist hubs.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant. If you see individuals matching the description of the suspects or notice any suspicious behavior, please contact the Sattahip Police Station or call the emergency hotline at 191.
As the investigation continues, authorities are hopeful that the high-profile nature of the case and the cooperation of the public will lead to a swift arrest. This story is developing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from the Chonburi Provincial Police.
