PHUKET — A violent assault between foreign tourists outside a nightclub in Phuket has left a French national seriously injured. The victim, identified as Mr. Nubel, was stabbed multiple times, while three British suspects, have already fled Thailand.
The incident occurred at 4:00 a.m. on May 11 outside an entertainment venue in Cherngtalay, Thalang district, Phuket, but only came to light two days later. Cherngtalay Police initially searched for one suspect believed to remain in Thailand, but later found that there are three suspects and they had already left Thailand.
Mr. Nubel continues to receive treatment at a hospital after suffering three stab wounds to his left waist and back. Emergency responders from the Cherngtalay Subdistrict Administration Organization provided first aid before transporting him to Thalang Hospital.

Investigators from Cherngtalay Police Station examined the crime scene, took photographs, and interviewed witnesses. According to reports, the victim and the perpetrators had been involved in a fistfight inside the bar before moving outside, where approximately three English-speaking foreign men attacked the victim. One of the assailants drew a knife and stabbed the victim before all suspects fled in a gray Mazda 2.
Police recovered a black iPhone at the scene, believed to belong to one of the perpetrators. Investigation of the SIM card revealed the phone belonged to Mr. Emilio, a British national, whose face matched witness descriptions. Immigration records confirm he departed Thailand to Bali, Indonesia, on May 11 at approximately 6:49 p.m.
Later, when officers conducted a more detailed investigation, they found that the person suspected of stabbing the French man was Mr. Rory, a 34-year-old British national. He fled on the same flight as Emilio, accompanied by Mr. Rayon, a 28-year-old British national who was also present during the incident.
Officials are now gathering evidence to request court approval for arrest warrants for all three suspects.
