A capital truck driver first saw stripes, then stars, when a drunk military officer clocked him in the head in the middle of traffic on Wednesday.

Witnesses say the man in olive drab passed the truck on his motorbike in Por Sen Chey district, then blocked the lorry and punched the driver four times when he came out to talk.

Cops came soon to calm the sloshed sergeant who was forwarded to the Military Police station where he will surely face consequences.
