Thai police are searching for a man who stabbed a British tourist outside a beach club on Wednesday.

Louis Johe Jarvie, 34, suffered a knife wound to his right arm in the incident, which took place in Cherng Talay at around 12.20am.

The attacker, said to have been foreign to Thailand, fled the scene before police arrived.

Visibility is said to have been “poor” at the time, according to police as they tried to put together an image of what the person looked like.

“Witnesses said they saw a large foreign man stab the British man in the arm,” police said. “The victim is now feeling better but is not ready to respond.”

Mr Jarvie is said to be recovering in hospital.
