You never know who you’ll run into at a coffee shop. For the man behind the counter at a cafe in Banteay Meanchey’s Poipet town on Tuesday, it was a man who had just returned from stabbing an old enemy.

Police say the suspect, 28, had chosen to hide in plain sight at the cafe after seriously injuring the victim with a knife, but the shop’s employee, suspecting something amiss, called the police, who arrested the perp on the spot.
