Indian Tourist Allegedly Chased and Beaten by Mob in Phuket

An Indian tourist was allegedly chased and assaulted by a group of locals in Phuket after reportedly pushing a woman to the ground when she tried to stop a fight, according to footage shared online.

The incident was captured by Khaninsit Yingbut on a Phuket road on July 10. The video shows an angry group pursuing the foreign man as he ran and called for help. The group then allegedly punched and kicked him.

The source did not identify the woman, the tourist or the road where the incident occurred, and it did not provide details of any police response or injuries.

Some residents reportedly said incidents of this kind were seen frequently, while others supported the group’s decision to punish foreigners they believed had disrespected local people. The claims and footage had not been independently verified in the source material.
