PPHNOM PENH -- A British bar-owner in Phnom Penh was saved by police from a vigilante mob after being accused of attacking his Cambodian girlfriend, police said Monday. Police in the Cambodian capital said David Finch, 42, had been rescued as an angry group attacked him on a busy street outside his "Broken Bar."

But after saving him from the group, the police immediately arrested and charged Finch with violently injuring a person, the police said. Finch allegedly attacked his 20-year-old girlfriend outside his bar on Saturday before a group of onlookers crowded round and hit him back, according to Chhit Vuthy, a local deputy police chief.
