Some would say stingy man got his just desserts , Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

An angered Poipet man’s attack really took the cake for brutality when he slashed his friend for refusing to loan him 20 baht (about $0.59) for a moist-crumbed dessert on Monday.

Asking for a little dough to buy the cake, the 23-year-old suspect was brushed off, only to come back later with a samurai sword and gave his pal a deep cut on the shoulder.

When police showed up, they sent the victim to the hospital and arrested the aggressor, who confessed, blaming his temper and vicious sweet tooth.
