A B.C. man is fighting for his life in Cambodia after a violent mugging.
Humanitarian worker Jiri Zivney was beaten, robbed and left for dead Jan. 9 in Phnom Penh outside a bank machine.
"As he was riding away on his motorbike, they clubbed him in the head and he crashed his bike," family friend Monty Aldoff tells CTV News.
The 46-year-old was transferred by ambulance to a hospital in the capital city, where he is listed in critical condition. Doctors are working to stabilize him so he can be brought back to Canada for treatment.
According to the International Humanitarian Hope Society, the Kamloops resident was in the country delivering medical supplies to orphans on behalf of their agency.
