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.

Man Waving a Sword on National Road 2 Gets Arrested

Cambodia News, (Takeo province): According to the Kirivong District Police Inspectorate, the police forces were called to intervene on March 15, 2023 at 20:30pm, on National Road 2 in Ang Prasat village, Ang Prasat commune, Kirivong district, Takeo province.

Police arrested a suspect named Chheang Sarath, male, 32 years old, who was walking along National Road 2 while waving a long knife and shouting; this behavior frightened the local residents enough to call the police, who came to the village and took the man away for questioning.

However, after a preliminary enquiry, police say that the suspect is a drug user with mental health problems who had wandered away from his village (not far from the national road.) There is no cause for alarm and Kirivong District police are following the legal procedures.

Mmmh, so his lack of planning is the comforting news ?

But if he had some bad boy scheme (chasing a chicken, being annoying to resting tuktuks, purchasing a deck of card to play poker with crazy pals....) then it would be a serious concern, right ?

I wonder if a guy waving a gun would be a concern in, say, the US, before being checked as an addict and a nutjob ? I know it would in Frogland, but weapons are not allowed here anyway...

Come on everybody wave your arms in the air like you just don't care, see what happens...

Why is he not wearing a football shirt?? This country has gone to the dogs!
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
