A mouthy drunk caused a Kampong Cham town security guard to lose his cool on Saturday.

Police said the guard was busy moving the car of a patron at the drink shop where he worked when another customer – this one more than a little soused – demanded that the guard attend to his car first.

When the guard refused, the man ripped into him verbally, only to be ripped into physically by the irate guard. The victim was left seriously injured, and the aggrieved guard was hauled off in irons. DEUM AMPIL
