A 16 year-old teenager has presented himself to police after he attacked four teenagers with a pair of scissors near a school in Phuket Town.

The Phuket City Police Chief Colonel Sarawut Chooprasit told The Phuket Express that four male teenagers have been injured after a fight on Monday (December 19th) near a school in Phuket Town.

The four injuries were aged between 14 – 17 years old. One was stabbed through their lung with a pair of scissors but now has recovered. The 16 year-old male teenager from a different school in Phuket Town presented himself to police yesterday (December 21st) with his parents. The suspect, whose name was withheld due to his age, reportedly admitted to his crimes.

He is facing charges of assault causing mental and bodily injuries.
