In Kandal province’s Kien Svay district, a 26-year-old took a more direct approach in his attack on family members by chasing his father with a machete on Wednesday.

Authorities say the lad was a perennial troublemaker but on this day went too far by coming at dear dad with a blade after an argument.

Neighbours were kind enough to apprehend the boy, and he was hauled off to the police station for legal action.
