Could it be a love triangle? Police with seemingly little to go on were happy to toss that theory out there after a man was viciously hacked with a cleaver following a night of clubbing on Tuesday.

The Kampong Chhnang town incident happened shortly after the 33-year-old had left a club.

Walking home alone, a man on a moto approached from behind and struck him in the head and back.

The victim is now in hospital, while the suspect remains at large.
