A man took a knife to the head in Banteay Meanchey’s O’Chrou district after his drinking buddy couldn’t take a joke. A group of eight men were welcoming the sunrise early Sunday morning after drinking the night away when the quarrel broke out.

The two men traded poisonous barbs until one of them could take no more. The affronted assailant grabbed a nearby knife, struck his tormentor in the head, and fled the scene. Police arrested the stabber that same day.
