But the assailant, having punched Anyanisa Kornnipat, 39, in the nose, decided against abducting her upon seeing her bloodied face. 
Anyanisa told police she was riding along an irrigation canal at 5.30am when a motorcyclist approached from behind and forced her to stop. 
She said he punched her in the face and tried to drag her onto his motorcycle, but changed his mind upon seeing the blood. &ldquo;I no longer want you,&rdquo; he told her. He stole Bt500 in cash from her and sped off.
