A Greater Bangkok taxidriver, along with his friends, yesterday reportedly robbed and assaulted a Myanmar passenger before abducting his two-month-pregnant girlfriend in Pathum Thani's Sam Khok district, police said.
The slightly injured victim Ong Su, 34, who is a worker, was found in Tambon Chiang Rak Noi.
He told police that he and his 22-year-old girlfriend hailed a green-yellow taxi with unknown licence plate number from Rangsit area to go to Samut Prakan province when the cabbie stopped by a gas station.
Suddenly two male friends of the cabbie showed up to sit in the car with them and when they reached an isolated area, they dragged him out to beat him up while one culprit held his girlfriend down, the victim said.
The group then took his purse with Bt500 cash and a Bt6,000-worth cell phone, before fleeing with the victim's girlfriend still in the car, he said, adding that he crawled out from the area to get help to alert police.
Later yesterday evening, police was alerted that the abducted woman, who reportedly was unharmed, was brought and left at a construction site in Bangkok's Don Muang area.
Police also issued arrest warrants for the taxidriver and his two friends based on the CCTV footage that captured them.
