Two Cambodian men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly attacking and injuring two Thai men with a knife, Hwaseong Seobu Police Station reported Monday.

Following a physical brawl, the suspects reportedly stabbed a 34-year-old victim once and a 27-year-old victim twice. The 34-year-old victim was treated for his injury and is reportedly now in a stable condition.
Police arrested the suspects, who fled the scene via taxi, at a factory dormitory 10 kilometers away, three hours after the attack.
The 22-year-old suspect claimed that the fight broke out due to the victims’ “joking around with the door to the bathroom stall.”
The Cambodians admitted to the physical fight, but denied attempted murder.
The police requested a warrant for the continued detention of the suspects, citing their clothes stained with the victims’ blood as evidence.
