German prosecutors are investigating a teenage boy who is believed to have shot plastic bullets at the King of Thailand as he was cycling.
Earlier in June, the King was cycling in Landshut, Bavaria, in southern Germany when his group was targeted by two boys, aged 13 and 14, shooting an airsoft BB gun from a window.
Probably unbeknownst to the boys, the group included King Maha Vajiralongkorn and his entourage.
Police were alerted “via official channels.”
Thomas Rauscher, a prosecutor in the southern town of Landshut, said: “A toy pistol, a soft air pistol, was used. First, it was fired at a group of cyclists, one of whom was the King of Thailand,” according to the Telegraph.
No one was injured in the incident.
The 14-year-old, who has not been named, is under investigation for attempted grievous bodily harm. The 13-year-old is too young to be investigated.
The prosecutor’s office will decide whether to the charge the teenager with a criminal offence.
The King owns two villas in Bavaria.

Maybe worth including the Royal Parks statement on the "banning" of cross country events, just for balance.
As others have noted, this was not in 2020 but in 1996. Fiestas were, round my way at least, very much the sort of car one might get on first...
The key word is reasonable. I'm not sure if it was from common law or enshrined later, but public bodies have a duty to act reasonably....
Is the microphone any good?
Exactly my view. The old cheaper Shimano button wasn't great (and even then it wasn't awful) but the Campag one is much better.
True, but I imagine that (given headtube angle) forward and backward flex translates to at least a tiny amount of upward and downward movement, and...
