Jeremy Renner Attacked in Thailand; Friend Stabbed With Axe in Bar Brawl

Truth rating: 10

Jeremy Renner was attacked in a brutal bar fight in Thailand early Thursday morning.

The Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol star was hanging out with friends at Rachada Pub in Phuket when one man in his group, Sri Panwa Resort General Manager Vorasit Issara, accidentally dropped a glass on the floor, inciting the venue’s employees.

Issara then reportedly got into a heated argument with one staffer, before six of the employees allegedly attacked him, Renner and their other friends, with one man slashing Issara in the neck with a homemade rotor axe.

Issara was also stabbed in the stomach with a knife, while Renner reportedly suffered minor injuries.

The six men were arrested after the brawl and charged with attempted murder.

A rep for Renner confirms to Gossip Cop he was at the venue during the fight, but says he was “not involved” in the melee.

He’s in Thailand shooting The Bourne Legacy.

    OMG! And that’s exactly why I don’t travel overseas! Not saying crazy crap doesn’t happen in the US but this level of crazy is insane! Who in their right mind makes their own axe??!! And starts slashing someone because they dropped a glass??!! Hope everyone has a speedy recovery and hop the first flight back to America!

    There must be something missing from this story. Why would dropping a glass incite people to riot and stab someone. I would not make this about international travel as there are plenty of stories about crazy, senseless violence in the US and other western countries to discount that as the reason. Not blaming anyone, but it just seems like an extreme way to respond to an accident.

    If he was not involved in the melee, then he was not attacked. Time to change the headline.

    What is a “rotor axe?” Do they mean a machete? If so, it’s not an axe, it’s a bladed instrument.

    And the story says he was stabbed with a knife, but cut with the “rotor axe,” so the headline is incorrect.

    And with the update, the headline now appears to be additionally misleading, something Gossip Cop (of all people) should update.

    People have a way of ” committing suicide ” by jumping out of their condo windows, in Thailand.
    To them you are just another foreigner, and won’t investigate. This is how the liitle gook Thai fight, six little MF ers against one. Plus,if this didn’t happen to a high profile person the cops would have locked up the people who were attacked.
    PS Your Thai KING is a homo who likes little boys !

    First of all if you mean Gook as an insult for the people who started the brawl that’s one thing. However if you were referring to the entire population of Thailand that is just plain racism. PeterBelles your comment is crudely bigoted.
    Relieved Jeremy Renner wasn’t seriously hurt. I feel sympathetic for general manager Vorasit Issara. I hope he’ll be okay.
    How do you know the Thai King likes little boys? Whatever he is, he’s far better than you, you deplorable sexist, bigoted racist.
    To everyone while I am no expert on Thai culture it seems rather strange any heated verbal quarrel could lead to such a violent reaction. There seems to me much more then reported.

    For a brief time I had friendly communication with someone living in Thailand through PM’ s on a board, and she had to be very careful about what she wrote was going on in her country as the government must have created such fear over their people that they fear their communications are monitored. I did not doubt that possibility. That bit of news was enough for me to fear visiting Thailand. Yet my nephew traveled their without incident. So I hesitate to draw unfair conclusions. I just feel so sympathetic to people living in countries where they must be so cautious. We who already have the precious freedoms must cherish them and not allow them to be slowly eroded. We must think twice before voting for a candidate embracing the extreme fringe or the religious zealots who wish to force their agenda on everyone. Middle of the road is fair to everyone. I do not force my beliefs on anyone. I do not want others beliefs to be forced on me and alter my choices.

    @Fennel, no point correcting or arguing with folks like PeterBelles. They are just full of hate and want to see the world destroyed. Misery loves company, it’s that simple.
