After the incident, Mr. Vin was taken to Military Hospital 103 by his family for treatment.

Mr. Vin affirmed that even though he was at fault for the traffic collision, the young men chasing him had no right to beat people and act like thugs, so he requested the authorities to handle the matter properly.

Mr. Vin's family said they will now focus on treating Mr. Vin, and then write a petition to request the authorities to resolve and handle the case.
