Phnom Penh Post - Trip to family gathering ends in gang beat down
Residents in Phnom Penh’s Choam Chao commune were awoken not by their alarm clocks but by the sounds of fighting on Saturday night.

Waiting until the thugs had left, locals came out and used one victim’s phone to call up their kinfolk. Family members came later and carted the luckless lads to the hospital.
