Early on December 12, a man allegedly refused a police stop and fired at officers in Phnom Penh’s Russey Keo district. The report says police signalled the suspicious man to stop for a check, but he sped away on his vehicle and fired repeatedly at pursuing officers. No casualties were reported. Despite police instructions to stop, he continued accelerating away. When he reached the area beneath Chroy Changvar Bridge, he deliberately knocked over his motorcycle, drew a handgun and fired at police in an attempt to continue escaping.
Police quickly apprehended the suspect and seized the handgun and motorcycle involved. The suspect and the evidence were transferred to the Russey Keo district police station for further questioning and legal proceedings.
