Excerpt: Saul Jeremiah Rosenthal, 22, had been drinking with his Thai pal 'Set' at a restaurant in the Thai capital on Monday.
But they began arguing when Set daubed the German wartime symbol onto his own forehead, and allegedly laughed about the image while making lewd remarks.
Set's actions irked Saul, who confronted his friend in an alleyway where he tried to explain to him that the swastika was an offensive symbol associated with horrific crimes against humanity - but the conversation descended into an alcohol-fuelled argument.
Saul allegedly got angry with Set and allegedly tried to attack him, but the young Thai retaliated and stabbed him with a short blade.
Officers said they have detained Set, of mixed Thai and Filipino nationality, who was carrying a five-inch knife believed to be the murder weapon while in a 'heavily intoxicated state'.
