Rival gangs do battle with rocks and swords
Six “gangsters” were briefly detained when they resorted to using swords and rocks to settle a drunken argument in Battambang on Tuesday. Police said two groups were drinking wine in separate places when an argument broke out within one group. Curious, the other group went to intervene, but soon found itself embroiled in the scuffle. Before long, members of each gang produced swords and picked up nearby rocks to use as weapons. A neighbour called police, who detained the gangsters and shaved their heads. Police released them after they promised “to stop doing that”.

An 80-year-old woman was hit by a 16-year-old rider on a motorbike as she crossed the road on Monday in Banteay Meanchey’s Poipet town. Police said the girl was driving very fast when she collided with the elderly woman. The woman was sent to hospital, where a doctor declared that she had suffered serious injuries “because she is old and she did not have enough power”. Police said people under the age of 18 cannot drive motorbikes, so they kept the motorbike.
