The altercation began when a group of men surrounded and assaulted Mr. Dio, the 46-year-old president of the association. According to witnesses, the attack seemed premeditated, as one of the assailants had been seen taking photos and videos earlier in the day. Several others, including Thai social media influencer Chanita and another woman, were caught in the chaos and sustained injuries while trying to intervene. Both women were punched multiple times, leaving them bruised and in need of medical attention.
