A Vietnamese man in Kandal ended up in hospital on Saturday after a little verbal sparring with a friend became distinctly less verbal.

What began as a few friendly drinks with his 18-year-old chum soon deteriorated into a full-blown argument.

The argument was concluded with the younger of the pair stabbing his friend with a knife, indicating he’d perhaps taken advice about forceful argumentative points the wrong way.

The injured man was hospitalised while the perpetrator was arrested.
