Rival gangs in Phnom Penh discovered the meaning of messing with the wrong man on Tuesday when a police officer got caught up in their street fight.

The groups attracted the attention of an on-duty officer while brawling outside a nightclub in Sen Sok district. But rather than wrapping up their dispute, the gangs turned their attention to the officer.

The six men learnt of their error when a gang of police arrived to defend their colleague, arresting them all. KOH SANTEPHEAP
