Police averted a potential tragedy after being called to a home in Phnom Penh’s Sen Sok district in the early hours of yesterday morning after neighbours noticed a man behaving strangely.

The 20-year-old reportedly climbed up the outside of the house and into the first floor.

Police arrived on the scene and arrested the man, who they believe was a drug addict and speculated may have come to the house to kill himself.

The suspect was sent for drug testing the next day.
