Banteay Meanchey Province: Police are looking for four men, who were accused of injuring a 41-year-old man intentionally on Friday in Poi Pet town, Banteay Meanchey province. The victim, who is a worker at a local casino, said at the provincial hospital that the four men followed and beat him badly in front of his house after he tried to overtake their car (while he was overtaking the car, he swerved his motorbike from a hole in front of him. Meanwhile, his vehicle almost touched the car). Police said that the relatives of the victim intervened the beating and the men fled the scene. Around 20 minutes later, one of the four men’s older sister came to the scene. She asked him to go to the hospital and she was willing to solve the problem together later. However, police claimed that they would bring the four men to justice after they received a complaint letter from the victim’s family.
