Phnom Penh: Two Young Cambodian Armed with Welding Swords Arrested

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.

Let's hope so.

This is a trend that needs to be addressed.

Reminds me of when I was walking down a street towards the river in central Phnom Penh in Feb 2015, when I heard a commotion further down the street in front of me. There was an oldish man with a 6ft length of metal pipe, walking up the middle of street towards me, shouting at people & hitting cars with the pipe.

I had moved to the side of the road as I walked towards him, watching what he was doing, and as I passed him, he turned to me, & just said "hello", before he continued up the street screaming & shouting, whilst lashing out at cars, people etc with the metal pipe

Its a strange place Cambodia at times :)
