The subject sat down on the chair but still held the knife in his hand, and continuously cursed. In that situation, Lieutenant Doan Van Minh and the detectives still gently talked to the subject. However, this person suddenly stood up, grabbed the knife and stabbed Lieutenant Doan Van Minh in the left chest.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Thanh ran away like a mad animal. Lieutenant Doan Van Minh was taken to the emergency room with the diagnosis of a stab wound to the liver, tearing the diaphragm and only a few millimeters from reaching the heart.
