A Korean live streamer has been arrested for allegedly injuring the owner of a Pattaya massage parlour while attempting to block his live coverage of a client's massage.

It happened at Richy Health Massage in Bang Lamung district at 12.36am on Thursday.

Police found Narin Kongwongsa, the 43-year-old owner of the shop, in pain due to a dislocated shoulder.

The man remained at the scene, continuing his live stream until police stopped him. He was taken to Pattaya police station.

Ms Narin told police that the Korean man had repeatedly visited her massage shop to conduct live streaming without getting permission. Although she initially let him film, she stopped him during his latest visit when he opened a curtain, surprising a client getting an oil massage.

The owner said she warned the man against his intrusion, pushed the mobile phone he was using for live streaming and shoved him.

In response, the man allegedly grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground, dislocating her shoulder. She also claimed that the man broke her Korean boyfriend's nose.
