Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): At 6:50 pm on September 20, 2021, in the Chamroeurn Phal market, Sangkat Steung Mean Chey 2, Khan Mean Chey, two men were arrested and accused of attempted murder, after one of the suspects tried to shoot one of the sellers with whom they have had an on-going quarrel for some time.

According to one of the sellers, one of the suspects came into the market and tried to openly talk to the sellers, but no one responded to him. This infuriated him so much so that he called for a backup, who brought a handgun and aimed to shoot at the crowd of sellers but failed.
The sellers then took the opportunity to fight back and managed to get hold of the gun and both of the suspects, who have been detained awaiting further interrogation by the police. The identities of the suspects and the motive behind the attempted shooting have not been disclosed.
