‘Gangster’ food fight erupts at wedding party
The hosts of a wedding party in Kandal province’s Sa’ang district have filed complaints against two teenage gangs accused of involvement in a fight that left four men seriously injured and about 100 glasses broken. A sister of the bride said the fight broke out during the wedding party on Sunday after a member of one of the gangs asked her to dance with him. She said members of the other gang threw a beer can at her prospective dance partner, sparking an all-out brawl in which both sides employed an armoury of plates, wooden sticks, plastic chairs and stones. The family has filed a complaint with police requesting that the brawlers help cover the costs of the damage caused by their fight. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
