3 young men slashed and injured a police officer while being tested for alcohol concentration
When stopped by traffic police to check alcohol concentration, 3 young men did not comply, but went into a house and took out knives to attack the working group, injuring 2 police officers.
On April 15, Thong Nhat District Police (Dong Nai) announced that they were detaining three young men, including Nguyen Trong Duc (26 years old, residing in Trang Bom District), Nguyen Trung Luc (25 years old) and Nguyen Trung Tri (19 years old, both residing in Thong Nhat District) to investigate their behavior of resisting law enforcement officers.

According to the investigation, on the evening of April 14, the traffic police working group of Thong Nhat District Police led by Mr. Tran Long (team leader) and 3 members Tran Trieu Pha, Nguyen Huy Cuong and Pham Anh Tuan combined with the traffic safety team to patrol and control on Provincial Road 769, through Xuan Thanh Commune and Bau Ham 2 Commune (Thong That District).
At around 9:20 p.m., on the inter-commune road in Lap Thanh hamlet (Xuan Thanh commune), the working group discovered Duc and Tri driving a motorbike carrying Luc, showing signs of intoxication, so they signaled to stop the vehicle to check the alcohol concentration.
However, the subjects did not present their documents but pushed and cursed the traffic police on duty. Afterwards, Luc ran into a nearby house, took out two Thai knives, gave Duc one, and then both rushed to attack the police.
Suddenly attacked, Mr. Long raised his hand to block but was slashed and nearly had one of his fingers severed. Separately, Tri used his helmet to attack and injure Mr. Pha.
After committing the crime, all three abandoned the car and ran into a house to hide.
Upon receiving the report, Thong Nhat District Police coordinated with Xuan Thanh Commune Police and Bau Ham 2 Commune Police to chase and arrest three suspects at a house in Tran Cao Van Hamlet, Bau Ham 2 Commune.
Mr. Long and Mr. Pha were taken to Thong Nhat District Medical Center for emergency treatment.
Mr. Pha suffered facial injuries and needed many stitches on his eyelids. Mr. Long had a finger almost severed so he was transferred to Long Khanh Regional General Hospital to have the tendons reattached./.
