This is the chaotic moment a British tourist was mobbed for allegedly crashing into a female Thai rider while pulling a wheelie.

The Brit, wearing a white Nike sports top, was allegedly seen performing the stunt along a road in Pattaya, eastern Thailand, on Thursday night.

He continued riding with one wheel in the air before allegedly slamming into Jurairat Petchraksa, 49, in the Soi Bong Koch 8 area. The impact flung both riders away from each other, leaving Jurairat seriously injured.

Police arrived after being notified at 11:06 pm local time. They found Jurairat lying in a pool of blood near her overturned pink Honda Scoopy-i scooter.

She was given CPR and rushed to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition, while the tourist remained at the scene. Officers said she has not regained consciousness today.

During police questioning, the British tourist, who has not been named, allegedly blamed the injured woman for the accident, prompting furious locals to attack him.

Dramatic footage shows residents lunging at the Brit and his friends, forcing them to flee across the road. He was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.

A police spokesman said: 'We do not know the name of the suspect. He has not provided his passport but we will try to get it today. The relatives of the victim will also meet today to discuss compensation to resolve the case.

'We will also review CCTV footage from the area to determine the cause of the accident and ensure fairness for all parties involved.

'Witnesses said the tourist was doing a wheelie and caused the crash. If he was riding dangerously, he could be prosecuted if the family want to have him charged.

'We hope that the injured woman will be able to give more details soon.'

Tourists are regularly attacked or caught up in crime, leading Pattaya to be dubbed 'Sin City'.

Embarrassed officials in the central government have launched tourism initiatives to attract families and rebrand Pattaya as a safe destination.

Authorities have also introduced safety measures, such as improved lighting and CCTV.

Despite some success in cleaning up the town's image, alcohol and sex remain its biggest draws, often leading to a high rate of crime and accidents.
