The severity of his confusion may have trumped a Poipet town 16-year-old’s injuries on Friday. Police said the teen was walking home from school when three gangsters attacked him with a sword and wooden sticks.

The assailants backed off when the victim ran toward a police station. The boy told authorities he had never met or seen his attackers before the assault. Police are now searching for the alleged assailants. KOH SANTEPHEAP
