An unhappy patient severely slashed a Bangkok dentist with a small sword after accusing him of pulling the wrong tooth, police said Wednesday. Somboon Saisida, 43, stormed Pornpoj Suriwong's clinic on Tuesday and assaulted him over allegations that he mistreated Somboon three years ago by leaving an infected tooth in his mouth and pulling a healthy one, police Lieut. Prapas Yongsatar said.
Somboon, who works as an ice cream vendor, claimed this error led to weakness in his left arm and leg, and eventually left him incapable of paddling his ice cream tricycle cart, forcing him to stop working.
"The suspect said he wanted to take revenge on the victim who made him suffer from performing the wrong treatment on him," Prapas said.
Somboon attacked the dentist with a small sword, breaking his arm and badly cutting his face, police said.
