Juvenile delinquents busted by military cops, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

Teen victims and suspects were the order of the day on Saturday in an incident near the Vietnamese Embassy.

Police said the 15- and 16-year-old victims were riding home after visiting a fruit drink stall, when two other local high-schoolers – 16 and 17 – drove up from behind and slashed at them with a “samurai sword”.

The two victims managed to raise a ruckus and drew the attention of nearby military police, who intervened and saved the day.

The attacked duo were treated for minor injuries.
