Gentle tap leads to driver’s angry slap
A security guard working at Phnom Penh’s Calmette Hospital was slapped in the face Sunday by an angry driver. The driver had accused the guard of hitting his shiny Lexus SRX70 with a walkie-talkie. The guard, however, insisted he only tapped the luxurious, high-end vehicle lightly to inform the driver that he had driven onto the lot without a mandatory parking ticket. The situation, however, was defused, and cooler heads prevailed. With mediation from the guard’s supervisor, the driver agreed to apologise to the guard.
