Man and his Car beaten badly #PublicJustice

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I suspect hit and run is the kind of thing you only get caught doing once.

For a professor he's kinda stupid.

I hate mob justice generally but he got what he deserved for running from an accident. Also if the police would instill some sort of confidence in the public, which they don't, they might have a chance at reducing mob justice.

The problem is higher up. It's not up to the police if the guy gets off or not. They can arrest someone, but that doesn't mean they'll be punished, or even go to trial.
People run from accidents because they are afraid, and the mob chase them because they see them running. Catch 22.

Probably in many cases, and many cases not.

Ehm, period.

So do the police arrest any of the mob generally? If not, seems a good way to vent some frustrations

Generally they don't.
Be interesting to see what happens with this instance, it does seem like there is a public and media push to get the mob leaders. Also imagine the police will be told to react; elections are soon.

Professor beaten by mob in Phnom Penh after alleged hit-and-run
12 March 2018 | 13:51 ICT
A university professor accused of a hit-and-run has been transported to Vietnam with serious head injuries after he was brutally beaten by a mob in Phnom Penh late Sunday afternoon.

A video of the attack shows a group of men swarming the professor's car and throwing large rocks through his window in Russey Keo’s Tuol Kork district around 5:30pm. The driver, identified by police as Suy Sareth, 52, is pictured bashed and bloody as he is loaded into an ambulance.

Sareth, an English professor at the University of Cambodia, sustained serious head injuries after he was mobbed, said Sem Sokunthea, deputy director of Phnom Penh traffic police.

“He was very badly injured by the mob near Preah Kossamak Hospital and right now he was sent to get treatment in Vietnam,” Sokunthea said. “Now, the criminal police are searching to find and arrest the group of people who beat him.”

Authorities said Sareth was accused of knocking a motorist from a motorbike near Wat Tuol Santevoan. Witnesses began chasing after Sareth’s car when it failed to stop at the site, but Sareth eventually was brought to a halt near Preah Kossamak Hospital in Tuol Kork and cornered by outraged residents.The victim of the hit and run has yet to be identified.

The video also shows people kicking Sareth’s car, beating his head with motorbike helmets, and slamming his fingers in the car door.

Teuk La’ak II commune police chief Ton Ravy said Sareth’s car was stopped due to a mechanical failure, but Sokunthea and witnesses say he collided with another car.

“After the beating, we rushed to help him,” Ravy said. “We are investigating and cannot reveal the perpetrators yet.
