A Buddhist monk, Karucha Sripramote (known locally as “Monk Kom”), says he is attacked by youths wearing balaclavas in a UK park. He reports that he was walking through the park when the group confronted him while riding an electric bike and that the incident escalated quickly.
According to his account across outlets, the youths appear to target him by manipulating the bike wheel, which he says is used to spray dirt at him. One report describes a “flurry of strikes,” while another says he was punched in the face. The accounts agree on the setting, the youths’ use of a bike, and the monk’s description of the assault’s rapid escalation, though they differ in the specific wording used to characterize the violence.
Both sources frame the incident as a sudden attack by masked youths. Neither outlet’s provided text includes further details on arrests, charges, or official responses, so those elements are not confirmed in the supplied information.
