A Russian man is fighting for his life after being brutally stabbed in the neck outside a Pattaya condominium, the victim of a jealous attack by his ex-girlfriend’s new foreign partner. The violent altercation erupted in plain view of horrified witnesses on Friday evening.

At approximately 6:00 PM on April 26, Pattaya police rushed to the scene on Soi Khao Phra Tamnak 4 following reports of a stabbing. Officers arrived to find Romanov Mikhail, a Russian national, bleeding profusely from a deep neck wound. Emergency responders stabilized the victim before rushing him to Pattaya City Hospital, where he remains in serious condition.

According to witnesses, the attack stemmed from a toxic love triangle. Mikhail had maintained contact with his ex-girlfriend, a foreign national, despite their breakup. Her new boyfriend—also a foreigner—reportedly grew enraged upon discovering the pair sitting together outside the condominium. In a fit of jealousy, he allegedly pulled out a knife and plunged it into Mikhail’s neck without warning.
