Phnom Penh Post - Sword-wielding sods easily disarmed by cops
Two youths underestimated police mettle when they pulled metal on them and were arrested for sword possession in the capital’s Chamkarmon district yesterday.
Officers came upon a group of gangsters, and after requesting a search, saw all but two wannabe Samurais flee.

The pair was sent to the station for legal action.
