coward’s Victor’s way attempted murder as norwegian expat stabbed twice in back
hua hin, THAILAND An argument in a bar led to a Norwegian expat being stabbed in the back and left fighting for his life after his lung was punctured. The incident happened almost two weeks ago now, but due to legal reasons. we have been unable to report it until now. The Norwegian man, Oeyvind Rossbach, got into a heated discussion with an Egyptian man (who can’t be named for legal reasons) and another man from Sweden, in a bar in the centre of Hua Hin, on Poolsuk Road, late on Friday 15th January into the early hours of the Saturday. The staff at the bar advised Mr Rossbach to leave, which he did, but shortly after he was attacked in the street by the Egyptian man, who had picked up a knife from the bar and then proceeded to stab Mr Rossbach twice, with the second knife thrust causing the damage to his lung. This was witnessed by several people, and there is also CCTV footage of the attack. Mr Rossbach collapsed, but friends quickly came to his aid and rushed him to San Paolo Hospital. After a blood transfusion and a lung drain, doctors told Mr Rossbach that if he had arrived only a few minutes later he would have died, as he was drowning in his own blood. They also said that if the second stab wound had been two centimetres higher it would have been his heart, and he would also have died. The police were notified quickly and the Egyptian man was picked up in Bangkok at Suvarnabhumi Airport on the Sunday morning attempting to flee the country, and it is believed he was charged with attempted murder, and released on bail of 200,000 baht. At the time of writing it is unknown how the legal process will continue from here, but Mr Rossbach has recovered sufficiently to leave hospital and is taking legal advice, although it is not known what long term damage has been inflicted, either physical or mental.
