Overseas Vietnamese group arrested for fighting and beating people from bar to street
Two groups of Vietnamese Australians had a conflict and a fight that spread from the bar to the street in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, injuring 3 people and causing disorder.
On August 1, the District 1 Police Department, Ho Chi Minh City, announced that they had just issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and execute a temporary detention order against 3 people: Anthony Vu Phi Long Pham (35 years old), Amin Huzaifah (24 years old) and Nguyen Michael (29 years old, all Australian citizens) for the crime of "Disturbing public order".
Currently, District 1 Police have transferred the case to the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department of Investigation to expand the investigation and handle it according to their authority.
It is known that the 3 people entered Vietnam as tourists.
In the early morning of June 29, Anthony Vu Phi Long Pham, Amin Huzaifah and Nguyen Michael, along with about 10 other people, went to drink, have fun and entertain at Atmost bar (on Ton That Dam street, Ben Nghe ward, District 1). There, Anthony's group had a conflict with the Australian Vietnamese group led by Minh Nguyen (37 years old). The two sides cursed and then got into a fight and were asked to leave by the bar's security.
In front of the bar, Anthony's group attacked Minh Nguyen's group to intimidate them.
Minh Nguyen's group then walked on Pasteur Street to catch a bus home. However, near the Pasteur - Ton That Thiep intersection, Anthony's group continued to punch and kick the members of Minh Nguyen's group, injuring him and two others.
Immediately after receiving the news, Ben Nghe Ward Police arrived at the scene and brought all involved people in for questioning.
At the police station, Anthony Vu Phi Long Pham, Amin Huzaifah, and Nguyen Michael admitted to directly assaulting and injuring 3 people. The 3 subjects stated that they were drunk and could not control their behavior.
The police determined that the group's actions had affected local security and order and tourists coming to Vietnam, so they needed to be strictly handled according to the law to deter and prevent the general public.
