Thailand to Deport Qatari Man For Assaulting Disabled Woman

BANGKOK – A Qatari tourist visiting Thailand faces immediate deportation following a sudden and violent street outburst. The terrifying street rampage left six innocent people injured in the peaceful coastal town of Hua Hin. Local police authorities moved quickly to secure the area and safely arrest the dangerous suspect.

The shocking incident actually began on a busy Sunday evening near a local cannabis shop. Witnesses watched in horror as the large man began assaulting random strangers without any warning. Local police officers immediately took the aggressive man into custody to prevent further public harm.

Key Takeaways:

  • A 40-year-old Qatari tourist attacked six people during an unprovoked rampage in Hua Hin.
  • The attacker violently dragged a disabled flower seller from her wheelchair during the chaotic incident.
  • The tourist will pay 100,000 baht in compensation before being deported from the country entirely.

According to local reports from the Bangkok Post, the unprovoked violence started inside a cannabis dispensary. The foreign suspect reportedly argued with another customer about religion before losing his temper entirely. Consequently, he destroyed store property and violently struck an unsuspecting customer inside the quiet shop.

A 32-year-old female store employee heard the loud noise and went downstairs to investigate immediately. Unfortunately, the attacker punched her directly in the face the moment she opened the door. The highly aggressive man then stormed out onto the busy street to continue his rampage.

Once outside, the furious tourist turned his attention to a completely bewildered motorcyclist waiting nearby. The innocent rider was simply waiting to pick up his girlfriend when the attacker lunged. Local bystanders quickly realized that this dangerous situation was rapidly spiraling completely out of control.

Horrific Attack on a Disabled Woman

The most heartbreaking moment occurred when the man targeted a highly vulnerable street flower vendor. The disabled woman was sitting quietly in her wheelchair on a nearby busy street corner. Without any clear provocation, the suspect snatched her flowers and slapped her across the face.

Next, he violently dragged the helpless woman straight out of her wheelchair onto the pavement. A young nail technician working at a nearby salon managed to film this horrifying portion. Furthermore, a passing cyclist who bravely attempted to intervene was also assaulted by the suspect.

Ultimately, it took a large group of five brave bystanders to finally subdue the attacker. Because of his massive physical size, a single person could not hold him down safely. These heroic locals pinned him to the ground until the police arrived on the scene.

Qatari Tourist Faces Deportation From Thailand

Justice Served Through Prompt Deportation

Emergency paramedics swiftly transported all six injured victims to the nearby Hua Hin General Hospital. Thankfully, attending medical doctors confirmed that all the innocent victims only suffered minor physical injuries. Still, the terrible emotional trauma of such a terrifying public assault will likely linger forever.

Local police officially identified the arrested suspect as 40-year-old Abdulla Yousif Ha Al-Harqan from Qatar. He originally entered Thailand on a standard tourist visa valid until late September of 2026. Now, he faces serious criminal assault charges for his completely unacceptable and violent public behavior.

On Monday, local police officers mediated a formal financial settlement between the attacker and victims. The Qatari man officially agreed to pay a total of 100,000 baht in financial compensation. Specifically, 25,000 baht will go directly to the disabled woman he viciously attacked that night.

Following the conclusion of this legal process, Thai immigration authorities will take definitive deportation action. They plan to officially revoke his tourist visa and quickly deport him back to Qatar. Consequently, the aggressive tourist will likely face a permanent ban from ever re-entering the country.

    Hurricane Lala triggers flash flooding across Hawa…

    Hawaii is grappling with widespread flash flooding after Hurricane Lala skirted the Big Island as a category one storm, bringing powerful winds and heavy rain that officials say may have swept some homes off their foundations. Tens of thousands of properties across the islands have lost power, and officials have urged residents to brace for life threatening conditions, including mudslides, as the storm continues tracking westward south of Hawaii. Lala strengthened into a hurricane on Saturday, with wind speeds reaching a peak of 91 miles per hour, or 147 kilometers per hour, and forecasters say the storm could dump as much as 35 inches, or 89 centimeters, of rain in some areas. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said Saturday that one person died in a weather related car accident on Big Island, where numerous roads have been affected by the storm. Hawaii County officials said that as of 1:00 a.m. local time Sunday, two areas on Big Island had experienced flash flooding, warning that several occupied homes may have been swept off their foundations. Big Island Mayor Kimo Alameda said the county’s civil defense agency launched a search and rescue operation to locate residents whose homes may have been carried away by floodwaters. He described the rescue effort as especially difficult given the combination of rushing water, debris, boulders blocking roads and darkness. Footage released by Hawaii’s Department of Transportation shows roads submerged under fast moving water and blocked by fallen trees. Green urged residents to prepare for what he called an incredible amount of water and pleaded with people to stay off the roads during the storm, delivering the warning in a video posted to social media. The governor said 190 flights have been postponed as a result of the storm. At Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, Big Island’s largest airport, 40 percent of flights were grounded Saturday according to flight tracking service FlightAware, while roughly 80 percent of flights were canceled at Hilo International, the island’s other major airport. The National Weather Service issued its most severe warnings for areas in Big Island’s southeast, the region that came closest to the hurricane’s center, saying major rainfall flooding could prompt widespread evacuations and rescues as rivers and tributaries rapidly overflow their banks in multiple locations. Nearly 115,000 customers had lost power across Hawaii as of Sunday morning local time, according to the tracking service PowerOutage. Green said three hospitals also lost electricity but continued operating on backup generators. In Maui, some residents have been without water service since Saturday afternoon. A county statement said crews who responded to assess the situation were forced to turn back due to worsening weather and multiple downed trees, adding that repair work would resume once conditions allow safe access. Meteorologist Jennifer Myers, who lives in Hilo on Big Island’s eastern coast, said landslides have already cut off some roads while falling trees have torn down power lines in the area. Describing the view from her apartment overlooking the Wailuku River where it meets Hilo Bay, she said the water level had risen dramatically and that the bay, normally blue, had turned a deep red from sediment and runoff pouring into it. The hurricane ultimately did not make landfall on Big Island as some forecasts had suggested was possible, instead passing within 30 miles, or 48 kilometers, of the island’s South Point. Tropical storm warnings remain in effect across all eight of Hawaii’s major islands, including Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Kahoolawe, Oahu, Lanai, Kauai and Niihau. Big Island had previously been under a full hurricane warning. The National Hurricane Center said damaging winds and heavy rain will continue across Big Island overnight before spreading westward to the smaller islands on Sunday. Officials had repeatedly urged residents to prepare ahead of the storm’s arrival. Social media posts from local community groups showed residents filling sandbags to protect their homes and asking about store hours in the early hours of Saturday. Hawaii County’s Civil Defense Agency said public shelters remain open across every district on Big Island.

    PML-N can end AJK’s deprivations: Marryium Auran…

    Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) can help address the longstanding deprivations faced by Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK). She made the remarks while addressing a PML-N rally in Rawalpindi. She also urged party workers to actively support PML-N candidates and work for their success. Marryium Aurangzeb said the PML-N had delivered development projects across Punjab. She rejected criticism that the provincial government had focused only on Lahore. She said roads and other infrastructure had been developed in cities across Punjab. She asked critics to visit different parts of the province and assess the development work themselves. The senior minister also challenged the opposition to present similar development projects instead of criticising the government. She referred to the motorway projects built during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure. She also mentioned the metro bus services introduced during Shehbaz Sharif’s tenure. “Do not just complain. Build a motorway like Nawaz Sharif did,” she said. She added that critics should also demonstrate their ability to provide public transport services similar to those introduced under Shehbaz Sharif. Marryium Aurangzeb highlighted development initiatives in Azad Kashmir as well. She said green buses were now operating on the roads of Muzaffarabad. She also praised Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s housing programme. She said the provincial government had provided homes to around 200,000 people through the “Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar” initiative during the first 18 months. The senior minister also highlighted the government’s education programmes. She said 100,000 children had received laptops under the provincial government’s laptop scheme. She added that 50,000 students had been awarded Honhaar scholarships. According to Marriyum Aurangzeb, these initiatives were aimed at supporting students and creating better educational opportunities for young people. She said the PML-N had a record of development and public welfare projects. She urged party workers to remain united and campaign actively for the party’s candidates. Marryium Aurangzeb maintained that the PML-N could play an important role in addressing the grievances of the people of AJK and bringing development to the region.

    Evergrande founder handed life sentence as court s…

    The founder of Evergrande, the Chinese property giant whose collapse triggered a nationwide housing market crisis, has been sentenced to life in prison and stripped of all personal property. Hui Ka Yan pleaded guilty in April to multiple charges, including embezzling assets and corporate bribery. The Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court also imposed fines totaling 15.82 billion yuan, roughly £1.73 billion or $2.35 billion, on his former companies over a range of offenses that included falsifying financial records and concealing debt. The sentencing marks a major turning point in the fallout from Evergrande’s collapse, which shook China’s property sector and inflicted heavy losses on investors and domestic banks alike. The court said Hui and his businesses seriously disrupted the Chinese property market, causing significant economic damage. Other former Evergrande executives, including Hui’s two sons Xu Zhijian and Xu Tenghe, received jail terms ranging from 22 months to 18 years, according to Chinese state media. Once ranked as Asia’s richest man, Hui has watched his fortune and influence collapse alongside his company. Also known as Xu Jiayin, he grew up in rural China raised by his grandmother before entering the property industry and founding Evergrande in 1996. He guided the company through a period of rapid expansion fueled by heavy borrowing, eventually building Evergrande into China’s largest real estate developer with a stock market valuation exceeding $50 billion, roughly £36.7 billion. At his peak, Hui held the distinction of being Asia’s wealthiest individual. The company suffered a major setback when Beijing introduced new measures in 2020 aimed at curbing debt across the property sector. As Evergrande struggled to keep up with interest payments, it began selling properties at steep discounts to stay afloat before ultimately collapsing in 2021. Court proceedings in April revealed that the company had taken in millions of dollars in pre sale funds from prospective homebuyers that were never used for the construction they were intended to finance. Instead, that money was redirected toward new development projects, leaving hundreds of housing projects unfinished. In March 2024, Hui was separately fined $6.5 million and banned for life from China’s capital markets after regulators found the company had overstated its revenue by $78 billion. Evergrande’s stock market value shrank by 99 percent before the company’s shares were delisted from the Hong Kong exchange in August 2025, ending more than fifteen years of trading. The company’s implosion is widely seen as a key trigger for the broader downturn in China’s property market that continues to weigh on the country’s economy. At its peak, Evergrande stood as the largest firm in an industry that accounted for roughly a third of China’s gross domestic product, serving as both a major driver of economic growth and a critical revenue source for local governments. The sector’s ongoing troubles have continued to pressure the world’s second largest economy, with several other major developers facing their own financial distress in the years since Evergrande’s fall.

     K-P CM denies ‘Imran Khan Rehai Force’ exist…

      Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has told the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) that no organisation called the “Imran Khan Rehai Force” has ever been formed, notified or made operational. In a statement submitted through K-P Advocate General Shah Faisal Uthmankhel, Afridi said no armed group, militant organisation, coercive structure or paramilitary setup exists or has ever been planned under that name. The statement came in response to a petition filed by Islamabad-based lawyer Malik Zaheer Ahmed through Advocate Ali Nawaz Kharal. The petition asked the court to declare any attempt to form or mobilise such a private force or militia illegal and unconstitutional under Articles 5, 17 and 256 of the Constitution and the Private Military Organisations (Abolition and Prohibition) Act, 1973. The FCC had sought Afridi’s response on April 1 and directed him to submit it within 10 days. The case will return for hearing on July 29 before a three-member FCC bench headed by Chief Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan. Afridi clarified that the initiative referred to as a “force” is actually the Imran Khan Rehai Aman Movement, which he described as a peaceful, unarmed and voluntary civic-political campaign. According to the statement, the movement seeks to raise public awareness about due process and the state’s responsibility to ensure fairness in criminal proceedings. Afridi maintained that the campaign supports the release of the PTI founder through lawful, democratic and constitutional means and has no connection with force, militancy or coercion.

    One killed as fire breaks out on Indonesian ferry …

    Indonesian rescue teams pulled more than 200 people to safety on Wednesday after a ferry that departed from the resort island of Bali caught fire in waters near Lombok, officials said, as crews continued searching for any passengers still unaccounted for. By Wednesday afternoon, authorities had confirmed one Indonesian national dead among the 212 people evacuated to ports in Bali and Lombok, according to Muhammad Hariyadi, head of the local search and rescue agency. Most of those rescued were Indonesian citizens, with one Australian national also among the evacuees. The KM Putri Yasmin had departed Padangbai port in Bali bound for Lembar port when the fire broke out, Hariyadi said. Authorities have not yet determined what caused the blaze or whether the vessel was carrying more passengers than permitted. Hariyadi said rescue teams deployed multiple boats to carry out evacuations and coordinate with other vessels near the site of the incident, with more than 200 personnel involved in the response. The fire broke out in the Lombok Strait at 4:39 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Hariyadi said. Earlier in the day, Padangbai port official Heri Wiyanto told a local broadcaster that the ferry’s manifest listed only 114 passengers and 17 crew members, raising questions about whether the vessel exceeded its registered capacity. The incident comes less than a month after a separate ferry fire killed five people off the coast of Madura island, when the KM Mutiara Sentosa 2 caught fire while also carrying more passengers than its manifest indicated. Indonesia, a nation made up of roughly 17,000 islands, depends heavily on ferries for transportation between islands, since sea travel remains cheaper and more widely available than flying in many parts of the archipelago. Enforcement of maritime safety standards varies widely across the country, however, contributing to a comparatively high rate of ferry accidents in Indonesian waters.
