"While my friend was entering the train, a man bumped into her at her side, so she avoided him." the user said. "Then he started insulting her. She looked at him, and he said 'What are you smiling at?' The guy then pushed her and accused her of stepping on his feet. He beat her and then he hung onto a pole and tried to kick her!"
The victim got off the train at Samyan which was before her intended destination. Two other women accompanied her to speak to a security guard. The victim filed a report at Pathumwan Police Station.
There are no security cameras inside MRT trains.
"I insist the victim did not do anything. There was one man in purple shirt who tried to stop the guy. After he beat her, everyone just moved away because he could have carried a weapon."
It turned out that this man had committed a number of assaults in Bangkok before, according to social media users who shared their experience of their encounters with the man. Including this incident at Siam Paragon, a famous shopping mall in the heart of the city, where he threatened to hurt a teenage couple and reportedly hit the 17-year-old boy with a water bottle:
Fortunately, the police arrested the man on September 8, after tracking him down on social media. The suspect is a 38-year-old gambler from Laos named Weerapan Inthawong, who's also known on the social media as 'Siam Mafia' due to his rude, swaggering attitude towards the people he encountered.
The suspect did not just verbally or physically assault the victims, but he also committed a theft.
Since August reports of criminal mischief started being attributed to the same perpetrator at venues such as Siam Paragon, Siam Square, Center One Shopping Mall and MRT Hua Lamphong. They included a stolen mobile phone, students threatened and a commuter physically assaulted.
And entered Thailand illegally.
Weerapan has been charged with theft, assault and illegal entry to the kingdom; police said he did not have permission to remain in Thailand.

And on September 9, at the press conference after his arrest, the suspect got his Karma smacking him back on the head.
The woman who hit him is the victim he physically assaulted and threatened on the train.
After this video was posted on YouTube, it went viral very quickly. And the internet decided to celebrate this arrest by making memes out of it. Here are some that you might find disturbingly hilarious:
For Queen fans.
The Thai Star Wars fandom has some dark sense of humor.
'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl.
Any gamer here?
For any Doraemon fans out there, this is priceless.
And the last one is for EDM lovers.
The one thing we learn from this is that karma is a real crazy bitch. So please don't go around punching random strangers because you'll probably get those punches back.
Or even worse, you can literally become a meme.
