A brick maker goes off the wall making threats

A worker at a brick workshop in Kandal province may find himself coming up against a brick wall defending himself in court after allegedly threatening to kill his two superiors with a knife.

The impetuous inebriate asked to borrow money from his manager on Monday, despite already being indebted to the workshop owner for a whopping $1,900.

The infuriated man could not handle the rejection, and threatened to finish off the two men. The duo ran to the police, who promptly arrested the batty brick maker.
