A grade 11 student wasn’t interested in debating a 23-year-old in Koh Kong’s Khemarak Phumin town Sunday, instead pulling a machete and attacking the older man.

Police suspect revenge might be behind the attack, which took place at night in a park. The victim, who was struck on the head and knocked unconscious while fleeing, is recovering at hospital.

His 19-year-old attacker, although known to police, is still on the run. Nokorwat
