Everyone has a nickname! When you know a million guys called Dave, you have to be able to distinguish between then. I know Navy Dave, Accountant Dave, Fat Dave, Big Fat Dave, Sailor Dave, Asshole Dave, Barman Dave and so it goes on.

I think I know sailor dave and definitely asshole dave!
Blue is an ozzy name. I know of two.

My advice is to avoid stabbing people.

Good advice but you don't have to stab someone in Cambodia to be accused of it and do the time. You only have to be accused. Seems this case is genuine but the police won't care about that.

1. who was stabbed?

5. other relevant details.

Simple journalism it is.

Friend of the unidentified stabbee said in a Facebook comment that the stabbee "Was in the hospital last night and got stitched up"

I don't follow your logic. I'd try the police and court route first, if I was the victim. If they deliver justice, fine, I don't need to get my hands dirty. If not, I still have that option anyway.
