The perpetrator, identified as Chitsanupong, got on the school van first before the victim, Phiradech, who is also 13 years old.
According to reports, the victim regularly slapped the perpetrator on the head. On this particular day, this led the perpetrator to get triggered until he stabbed the victim in the chest with a pocket knife.
The bus driver called the police to report the incident and arrested the perpetrator with the help of passersby.
Sri Satchanalai police received the report about the attack at around 7.30am and rushed to the scene, where they found the victim seriously injured with a stab wound to his chest.
