Chroy Changva district police officer Major Ly Seng identified the man as Sebastien Baudry, 43, a French tourist staying in a rental house in Chroy Changva commune.
Maj Seng said that on Tuesday morning, Baudry smoked drugs at his rental house. At 11.30am, he became high and started destroying his Cambodian neighbour’s house. The house owner alerted the police for intervention.
“When he saw our police forces, he ran quickly to take a gun from his rental house and attempted to shoot our police officers,” he said.
“Police surrounded him and arrested him,” he said.
Maj Seng added that after his arrest, police seized an AK-47 rifle, one pistol and an amount of unused bullets from him, but did not seize his passport.
The suspect is accused of three counts of “drug use, staying without proper documents in Cambodia, and unauthorised possession of weapons” and faces from six months to three years in prison if convicted.
He added that the suspect now is still being temporarily detained at Chroy Changva district police for further investigation.
