A choleric construction worker with an axe to grind took a swing at his colleague’s face with the literal edged weapon after long-simmering tensions erupted on Saturday night in Svay Rieng.
The construction site co-workers, who had feuded previously, saw their passions flame anew during an intense argument. The quarrel culminated in one man producing a hatchet and quickly dispatching his nemesis to hospital.
The unhinged assailant has since been apprehended.
