According to a bystander, he and his uncle came across the man while cutting grass to feed their elephants.

Subsequent investigation by detectives uncovered CCTV footage showing the Russian pacing along Pattaya-Na Kluea Road late Monday night, sporting black trousers and a green cap. He appeared to be clutching his left wrist, which seemed to be bleeding. At 1:22 a.m., he entered the deserted lot and did not reemerge onto the road. Authorities transported him to a local hospital, where medical staff treated his injuries.
