A young man who was picked up on a YBS bus was beaten up by a group of pickpockets.

At around 8:30 am on May 19, a young man was injured and unconscious at the corner of Pansotan Road and Kanna Road in Yangon, and Ko Putu and the Boarders Charity Group went to help.

“People around him said that he was kicked out of the YBS bus and when he got down, the pickpockets surrounded him and kicked him. When we arrived, the young man was about 19 years old. He was unconscious. When we checked him for injuries, we found a laceration on his right cheek. We gave him emergency treatment and managed to bring him back to consciousness,” Ko Putu said.

The injured young man was taken to Yangon General Hospital, where he is said to be in good condition.
