Arrest of a group of people using weapons to chase and slash passersby in Nghi Loc district

Previously, on December 18, while traveling on National Highway 48E in Nghi Loc district, a resident of Nghi Dien commune, Nghi Loc district was suddenly attacked by a group of masked men on 3 motorbikes who used weapons to slash the victim's head and arms, then fled, causing serious injuries that required hospitalization.

Determining that this was a violent and complicated incident that negatively affected public order and security and caused panic among the people, the District Police established a special project to quickly arrest the group of suspects.

Using synchronous professional measures, on December 22, Nghi Loc District Police coordinated with Nghi An Commune Police, Vinh City to successfully arrest a group of 7 subjects. Of the 7 subjects arrested, 6 resided in Nghi An Commune, including: Pham Dang Manh (born 2005); Nguyen Van Hoan (born 2005); PQK (born 2008); LNA (born 2008); PTN (born 2009); PHH (born 2009) and NVK (born 2009) residing in Nghi Duc, Vinh City.

Notably, the group of young people gathered to cause disorder and damage property, then posted their actions on social media to brag about their "achievements" to others. Among the group, Pham Dang Manh and Nguyen Van Hoan had previous convictions for disturbing public order.

At the police station, the suspects confessed: They had previously had a conflict with another group of young people, so they went on three motorbikes to find the group of people with the conflict to resolve the conflict. When they encountered the victim on the street, suspecting that he was a member of the group, the group used knives and swords to slash the victim, injuring him.

Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Nghi Loc District Police is continuing to investigate and expand the case to strictly handle the subjects according to the provisions of the law.
