Kampong Chhnang town schoolyards, as it turns out, can occasionally be more like prison yards, as a student there learned on Monday.

Police said the 16-year-old had gotten into a fight with a schoolmate, landing a few punches to the mush before other students intervened.

The victim of the beating, however, took his revenge later that day when he allegedly stabbed the boy twice in the stomach on his way home from school.

The young delinquent fled, but was arrested the same day. DEUM AMPIL
