PATONG (Phuket) - A Facebook user has offered a 5,000 baht (S$202) reward for help in locating a foreign man who beat up a 10-year-old toilet attendant after refusing to pay a 10 baht fee for using the facility.

The user, who goes by Tohee Seesa on Facebook, posted photographs and videos of six foreigners - three men and three women - who were recorded on CCTV cameras installed at the facility on Bangla road, reported The Phuket Gazette.

In the video, one of the men repeatedly hits and shoves a young boy into a wall.

When another attendant came to the boy's aid, the foreigners ran off.

Tohee says the boy was just 10 years old, whereas the foreigner seemed to be between 30 and 40 years of age. "Please help me find this man. If you see him, please contact me at 081-082 6456 or 085-888-5572," he appealed on his Facebook page, offering a reward.
