Instant karma! Road rage thug gets his comeuppance when he attacks motorist… who is a Muay Thai boxer
The man squared up to Peerapat Ngamsilapakorn, who he nearly grazed while allegedly speeding without headlights on in Bangkok last Friday.
Peerapat's terrified girlfriend tried to diffuse tensions as the aggressive man walked up to Peerapat and began insulting him.
Footage shows the thug throwing the first blow at Peerapat, which he blocked with an arm and backed away, before unleashing a flurry of punches at his opponent and knocking him to the ground within seconds.
An enraged Peerapat kicked him several times and put him in a headlock before passers-by intervened.
He then lodged a complaint with the Sai Mai Police Station.
A police spokesman said: 'The complainant said he was heading to the convenience store and had his turn signal on, but the other man on the motorcycle came without headlights and nearly hit him.
'As seen in the clip, the attacker walked over, started cursing, and threw the first punch. The complainant said he retaliated in self-defence.'
Peerapat said his opponent allegedly threatened him not to press charges, and challenged him to a rematch despite being wiped out.
He said: 'I am a very calm person and never pick a fight with anyone. However, when you were being bold and loud to me, how can I yield? Everyone taught me not to concede easily.
'I talked with him politely but he refused to listen. I told him to leave, but he refused to go.
'I could have attacked him first, but it would not have been fair because I know Muay Thai so I let him throw the first punch.
'After that, it happened as is seen in the video. He talked too much and learned a hard lesson.'
Peerapat said that police were tracking down the thug to be questioned over the road rage incident.
Peerapat said his opponent allegedly threatened him not to press charges, and challenged him to a rematch despite being wiped out
It comes after a Muay Thai instructor used his martial arts skills earlier this month to restrain pitbulls after they brutally attacked him earlier this month.
Ernesto Chaves was on a morning run in Ponta Pora, west of Sao Paulo, Brazil, when two dangerous dogs attacked him.
Using his martial arts skills, the 33-year-old managed to dramatically pin the animals down before he was taken to hospital with multiple injuries, including a bite to the leg and a broken finger.
Muay Thai is a martial art that allows fighters to use their feet, fists, shins and elbows, and it is considered to be the national sport of Thailand.

Prime suspect in horrific cold case murder of 23-year-old woman is mysteriously found dead in Thailand
The suspected killer of a young woman whose partially burned body was found in bushland in NSW more than 20 years ago has been found dead in Thailand. Accused serial rapist and murderer Kevin Steven Correll, 69, died while on holiday in the South East Asian country last week. Correll was identified by police as the most likely to have killed 23-year-old car saleswoman Rachelle Childs on June 8 in 2001. Police did not charge anyone over her murder after the early investigation was repeatedly botched. Ms Child's body was found dumped in bushland in Gerroa, south of Sydney, about 100km away from her home. Unleaded petrol had been poured over her face and other parts of her body in what had been an apparent attempt to hide DNA evidence. She was found partially undressed and was likely either smothered or strangled to death. Authorities in Thailand have said the details surrounding the death of Correll remain a mystery. A member of Correll's family said police turned up to his son Mitchell's house to inform them an autopsy that was already underway. 'Not sorry he's gone just sorry that Rachelle's family aren't going to get the justice that they so deserve,' they told the Daily Telegraph. His estranged daughter, Jazz, found out her father was dead after speaking to her brother on the phone Saturday. 'I feel sad for his many victims,' she told the publication. Consular assistance is being provided to Correll's family in Australia, a DFAT spokesman confirmed. Many believe the initial police investigation into Ms Child's death had been thoroughly mishandled by local police before they handed it off to homicide detectives. Local police lost a crucial piece of CCTV footage which showed Ms Childs with what could have been her murderer at a petrol station on the night of her death. Other mistakes by the police unit included one officer who contaminated DNA found on a bedsheet in her car and others who did not collect her phone records properly. Correll was Ms Child's boss at the used car dealership, Camden Holden, where they both worked when she died. He was voluntarily questioned on three occasions by police regarding her death but detectives were unable to gather enough evidence to convict him. This is despite the fact that his alibi for the night of Ms Child's death could not be corroborated. Correll had previously been in court accused of rape. In once incident in the 1980s a woman's screams attracted police, who found him with his pants down, and she told them she was being assaulted. Correll was charged but a jury found him not guilty later in court. He had three other women also accused him of rape in separate incidents but was found not guilty in court. In the 1980s personal attacks against alleged victims in the witness box over their clothing or dating history was common. Another of his accusers said he had threatened her with a knife and threatened to kill her children. Correll was one of the last people to see Ms Childs alive when she left work the day before her death. Other employees recalled her telling them she was going to meet up with someone at the Bargo Hotel that evening but she did not say who it was. There was no CCTV inside the hotel and police did not manage to question everyone who was there on that night. After the meet Ms Childs rang her sister for a brief chat which was the last anybody ever heard from her. A motorist who was driving along the road where Ms Childs was found recalled to police having seen a 1978 Holden Commodore matching the description of the one she owned. The car was parked off the highway about 200m away from where Ms Childs was found the following day around 10.20pm on June 7. Another witness recalled seeing the car later with its boot open in the same location at 11pm. They told police there had been one person standing up next to the car while a second person was lying on the ground. Correll's alibi was that he drove from Camden to Campbelltown to meet his partner on June 7. He had been in a three-month long-distance relationship with a Thai woman when he died.

Tourist boat survivor recalls moment vessel ‘shook vigorously' before capsizing
A Vietnamese man has described his desperate escape from a capsized tour boat in Ha Long Bay, an incident that has tragically claimed the lives of at least 35 people, with a further four still unaccounted for. The vessel, named the Wonder Sea, had departed early on Saturday afternoon for a three-hour excursion in the popular tourist destination, carrying 46 passengers and three crew members. However, the weather quickly deteriorated, with high winds and torrential rain engulfing the area, survivor Dang Anh Tuan told The Associated Press. Mr Tuan recounted how passengers pleaded for the boat to turn back to shore, but the crew reportedly reassured them they were nearing their destination and continued the journey. A search operation remains underway for the missing individuals. 'It rained for about 15 minutes, and then the boat started to shake vigorously, tables and chairs were jostled around and seconds later the boat overturned,' the 36-year-old fire extinguisher salesman said. ' Water gushed in and I lost all orientation.' 'I tried to breathe. But more water came in. I took a deep breath, got rid of my life vest and dove down. I saw a streak of light and followed it to swim out, escaping the boat, and then I climbed on the overturned boat to look for help,' he said. Tuan and several other people survived by clinging to the capsized boat and its propellers, waiting another two hours before the rain stopped and rescuers arrived. The Wonder Sea boat was later seen being towed to a shipyard for investigation, with most of its windows shattered, and damage to its roof and handrails. Police and other officials are seen on the boat working. Rescue workers recovered 11 survivors, but one later died in hospital due to injuries, VNExpress newspaper said. The boat turned upside down because of strong winds, the newspaper said. A 14-year-old boy was rescued after four hours trapped in the overturned hull. The newspaper said that most of the passengers were tourists from Hanoi, including about 20 children. Tuan was a holiday with 11 university friends, only three of whom survived. Tuan has only minor cuts, but one of his friends suffered multiple injuries in his head and the other's tendons were cut by broken glass as he escaped the boat through a window. The other nine members of the group were killed, including one who was traveling with his wife and 3-year-old son. The wife and child were also drowned. A tropical storm is also moving toward the area. A national weather forecast said that Storm Wipha is expected to hit Vietnam 's northern region next week, including Ha Long Bay's coast.

South Korean prosecutors seek drone chief's arrest over operation in North
SEOUL, July 20 (Reuters) - South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday they had sought court approval to detain the head of a military drone unit as part of an investigation into former President Yoon Suk Yeol and drone operations in neighbouring North Korea. Prosecutors stepped up a probe into the drone operation after indicting the jailed ex-President Yoon on Saturday on additional charges for his short-lived declaration of martial law in December. They had summoned the unit's chief, Kim Yong-dae, on Thursday regarding accusations that Yoon ordered a covert drone operation into the North last year to inflame tension between the neighbours to justify his martial law decree. Yoon has denied the accusations. Kim told reporters the incident was part of a "clandestine military operation" in response to trash balloons sent from the North and not intended to provoke the neighbouring nation. In October, North Korea said the South had sent drones to scatter anti-North Korea leaflets over Pyongyang, and published photos of the remains of a crashed South Korean military drone. South Korea at the time declined to disclose whether it had sent the drones. In a statement on Sunday, the prosecution office said it had sought an arrest warrant for Kim. Media said a court hearing is planned for Monday afternoon to review the request for a warrant. He was arrested on Friday without a court warrant, media said. Prosecutors and police are permitted to make an "emergency arrest" if they have a strong belief someone is guilty of a serious crime and may flee or destroy evidence.
