Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): Two men riding two motorbikes, stopped along Rathop Road in order to beat up a homeless man at 02:30 am on 4 September 2020, Toul Kork district, Phnom Penh.
According to sources close to the scene, the victim was seen walking along the road on foot in the west-east direction until two motorcycles stopped next to him, and one man took a metal bar to strike the victim, leaving him seriously injured, and then the suspects drove off. According to preliminary information, the attack on the defenseless man had no motive other than gratuitous violence.

This has been reported as a scrap collector being beaten for no reason. Actually a lot of these scrap collectors go around thieving and pulling mirrors off parked cars etc and this guy was probably battered for fucking up someone's shit.

I could imagine an old Brit in full Quadrophenia-revival mode pulling mirrors to fulfill his plan while being high as a kite....

Oddly enough both pictures are of the same scooter, but with different riders - models maybe, on a photoshoot? Sorry for the total irrelevance

If I recall correctly, in the second picture, the rider played by Phil Daniels, has stolen the scooter from the character played by Sting.
