Teenage boy victim of assault and theft in PP

Phnom Penh police are the lookout for two men who were seemingly incapable of picking on someone their own size on Monday.

Cops said a boy, 13, had been sent out on an errand by his father, but once he was about a kilometre away from the house, two men on another moto rammed into him, causing him to crash.

The men then pistol-whipped him and stole the moto, with nearby locals unable to intervene.

The boy was taken to hospital, while his assailants are still at large.
