The attack occurred around 1:30 a.m. at a PTT petrol station on Ramkhamhaeng Soi 76 in Hua Mak, Bang Kapi district. Officers from Hua Mak Police Station and emergency responders from the Siam Ruam Jai Foundation arrived to find the 28-year-old singer bleeding heavily from a deep knife wound under his chin. First aid was administered before he was rushed to Kasemrad Hospital for treatment.

Authorities detained the alleged attacker, identified as a Samut Songkhram native, and seized a 20-centimeter knife believed to be the weapon used in the assault. Initial police reports suggest the altercation began as a verbal dispute before escalating into violence.

During interrogation, the suspect admitted to stabbing Peck but insisted he was defending himself. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and witness statements to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
