Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: The driver of an "indian" (passapp)tuktuk was attacked by a woman passenger at 12:10 am, midnight on Saturday, November 11, 2018, while driving along Sihanoukville Boulevard in Phnom Penh.

A little earlier, Sopheaktra, a 28-year-old tuktuk driver had picked up the two women passengers, who were extremely drunk, near the Oreussey Market. When the man took a wrong turning, one of the women, identified as 33-year-old Kim Chanthy, started screaming at him, calling him "useless" and other names. This only succeeded in confusing the tuktuk driver even further, and then when he turned to talk to the woman, she hit him in the face with a water bottle.


When the police were called, one of the women made her escape on foot before they arrived, but the other one was apprehended by the authorities and taken to the station for questioning. It is not clear which of the two women made her escape. The victim was treated for facial cuts and bruising.
