Offices were called to respond to the incident at about 9:30pm, reported Chalong Police.
According to initial reports, the Scottish man was attacked at his home in Soi Palai. He suffered a knife wound in the assault before fleeing from his attackers, police confirmed.
Another man living in the house with the Scottish man said there were three to four men involved in the attack. He said he was not sure because he quickly ran in to lock the door inside his room and waited until the police arrived.
The Scottish man fled to a neighbour’s house seeking help. The French neighbour drove the Scottish man to the nearby Tops store, where police and rescue workers were called.
Rescue workers arrived and took the Scottish man to Chalong Hospital for treatment.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and the identities of the perpetrators are under investigation, Chalong Police said.
