Oh, I'm glad that religion was not involved.

Vitaly Leydeker was arrested in Miami, Florida for battery/aggravated assault in November 2006 when he was 25 years old, which now makes him 35 years old.

Here is the mugshot from his Florida arrest:

Looks like a match to me.

2 years later there was a Vitaly Leydeker arrested in Staten Island, New York for stealing a man's wallet and stabbing him.

This happened in 2008 when the suspect was 27, making him 35 now, matching the age of the Vitaly who has been arrested in Sihanoukville for sending another tourist to the hospital.

"A thief got more than he bargained for when the owner of the car he was trying to break into in Richmond Town caught him, authorities said yesterday. Vitaly Leydeker, 27, tried to snatch a wallet from an unlocked car in a driveway on Center Street, near Moore street, on Friday night when the victim’s wife spotted the break-in, sources said. Her husband rushed out to confront him and they began to wrestle. Leydeker allegedly stabbed the man in the shoulder and took off, but the wounded man chased him to a garage blocks away. Leydeker was charged with assault and possession of stolen property."

Even more details of this arrest:

There was also a Ukrainian-born Vitaly Leydeker arrested in NYC, New York March 27, 2015, but I'll need some more time to try and find the charges.

It gives this information about his March 2015 arrest in New York, describing him:

Should we make a poll as to which florida town/city would be best suited to become twin cities with Sihanoukville ?
Tampa, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Hollywood, St Petersburg, Melbourne ?... Damn.. It is way worst than I thought when it comes to florida main towns names :lol:
