Violence toward vagrant lands man in trouble

A homeless man in Poipet town was stabbed on Tuesday over his choice of sleeping spots. According to police, the man often slept in residents’ back yards, but on the day in question, had bedded down in front of one local’s home.

The irate owner ordered him to leave, only to be rebuffed. Further incensed, he allegedly grabbed a knife and attacked the man, leaving him seriously injured. Nearby police spied the altercation, nabbed the homeowner and sent him on to court. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
