CHON BURI – Men claiming to be police raided a house in Bang Lamung and assaulted the 15-year-old son of a Bangkok policeman, demanding he lead them to two suspects he doesn’t even know, his father said on Friday.

Pol Lt Thosomkid Pimngen, of the metropolitan police in Bangkok’s Klong Tan district, told reporters that his son, Pimprakorn, was attacked by four men who claimed to be police who forced their way into his home in Bang Lamung district with no warrant.

He said the men demanded his son to give them the address of two suspects named only as “M” and “Oad”. His son denied knowing the suspects, and the men assaulted him.

"Pol Lt Thosomkid said he had already filed a complaint with the local police but he wanted to make sure the case moves forward, so he called reporters to make the case public" --- He sures has great confidence in his own policeforce ....Keep up the good work...

It's a bit different when it happens to a Policeman. Oh, he wants it followed up? Good luck!
