COPS FOIL ATTEMPT TO ROB MOTODOP
A teenage motorbike taxi driver was struck in the head twice with stones in a botched robbery attempt, police in Battambang province said. The robbery happened Wednesday, when a customer asked the 16-year-old driver to take him to the Thai border. When driver and customer arrived at their destination, however, the suspect picked up two stones and hit the driver in the head with them. The robbery was ultimately unsuccessful, however. Police arrested the man almost immediately after the driver called for help.

A man in Kampong Chhnang province has died after he was beaten with a stick while going to the toilet. Police said the man was killed Wednesday after he was having a dance with a friend close to his village. The man took a break from the dance floor when nature called. Much to his surprise, he was beaten repeatedly with a stick and died. Local police described the incident as a “normal confrontation” between competing groups of gangsters.

PLAYGROUND FIGHT LEADS TO STABBING
A high school student in Kampong Chhnang province was sent to hospital last Thursday after a group of “gangsters” walked into his classroom and stabbed him in the head with a knife, police said. The assault reportedly stemmed from a playground argument between the 14-year-old victim and his alleged attackers, said police, who believe members of the group had been playing football together immediately before the violent incident. The victim was sent to hospital, and police have sent the case to court.
