This is the intense moment tourists were spotted fighting outside a cannabis cafe in Thailand.

A Chinese man allegedly attacked a Russian woman in the coastal town of Pattaya on November 29.

This prompted a passing Russian man to help the victim as the seemingly enraged holidaymaker was strangling her.

Upon seeing this, five locals stepped in to help the foreigner free the woman from the aggressor. Moments later, the men managed to pull the suspect away.

The victim reportedly sustained injuries from her hair being torn.

Local media reported that the offender ran up to the woman, who was exchanging money, and began to assault her. She then began to wheeze and ask for help from nearby people.

The tourist rescuer said: 'I asked her if she knew the man, but she said that she didn't, so I did not hesitate to help. The Chinese man even said that they are Asians and should sort it out among themselves, but of course, regardless, I still helped.'
