One thug faces a lengthy stay in prison when caught after attacking a 31-year-old with a bottle in Pailin on Monday night.

The victim was relaxing outside his home when the man appeared from the darkness and savagely assaulted him.

Thankfully for the homeowner, who was by this stage unconscious, neighbours came to his rescue, scaring the attacker, who fled before police arrived. KOH SANTEPHEAP
