A Chinese man assaulted a university staff member at Mahidol University in Nakhon Pathom, prompting calls for his visa to be revoked.

The incident occurred when the man, upset his girlfriend’s performance was not filmed, attacked a staff member with a chair and slammed the staff member’s head against a wall, resulting in the staff member being hospitalised in the intensive care unit.

The event unfolded on March 18 at around 1.30pm at MACM Hall, College of Music, Mahidol University. According to Vin, a student from the faculty, the incident took place during a concert where a Chinese master’s degree student was scheduled to perform.

Her boyfriend, not a student at the university, became aggressive when the staff forgot to record her performance.

Vin recounted that upon arriving at the venue, the Chinese man began banging on the staff room door and shouting. The situation escalated as staff member A was attacked with a chair, had their head slammed against a wall, and sustained a broken finger.

The victim was rendered unconscious and was unable to provide a statement to the police due to being hospitalised.

On the same day, witnesses and the perpetrator were taken to Phutthamonthon Police Station. The police recorded the incident but it remains unclear whether further legal action will be pursued against the perpetrator. The Chinese student’s girlfriend has not commented on the matter.

Vin noted that the Chinese man had previously caused a disturbance by parking in a restricted area and using offensive language when confronted by security.
