Chawinroj Ritmangkornsook travelled from Samyan, down Phaya Thai Road, and stopped to park his white Toyota Yaris at the Rajamangala Institute of Technology Uthentawai Campus, when he witnessed the teenager walking close to the institute’s fence with a gun in his hand.

The driver saw his life flash in front of him as the teenager calmly pointed the weapon at the road, and then at his car and fired. Fortunately Chawinroj escaped unharmed and no one else was injured during the incident as the gunman made his escape from the scene. Only the driver’s side car window was damaged.

The driver says everything happened very fast.
