(Baonghean.vn) - A man who appeared to be high on drugs took a knife to his neighbor's house, chopped off a chicken's neck, then climbed onto the second floor balcony and stood dancing.

On the morning of May 4, Major Nguyen Ba Truong (Chief of Hung Dung Ward Police, Vinh City) said that Hoang Van D. (born in 1971, permanent residence in Nam Dinh province) is currently residing in Hung Dung Ward - the person who caused chaos in the neighborhood on the afternoon of May 3 was confirmed positive for drugs.

According to Hung Dung Ward Police: At more than 5:00 p.m. on May 3, the unit received a report that Hoang Van D. (owner of a dog meat restaurant in the ward - PV) was carrying a knife nearly 50 cm long and had cut off the necks of 4 of his neighbor's chickens. Throwing the knife away, he took a chicken and climbed onto the balcony of the 2nd floor of a house at the intersection of Nguyen Gia Thieu and Ton That Tung streets (Hung Dung Ward). While barricading himself on the balcony, D. continuously shouted and threatened to kill people, not allowing anyone to approach.

Six police officers from Hung Dung ward, led by Major Nguyen Ba Truong, went to the scene to coordinate with relevant units to try to persuade the stoned man, but he refused and threatened his life if he dared to come near.

To control this man, the police divided into two groups and advised to distract him. From another direction, police officers rushed in and successfully controlled D. about 30 minutes after the incident. While being controlled, Duoc continuously cursed the task force.

During the night, this man was taken to the Vinh City Social Labor Education Center. The staff there did a quick test and determined that D. was positive for crystal meth.

According to the authorities, in 2016, Hoang Van D. had spent time in drug rehabilitation at a center in Nghe An, due to difficult family circumstances. Currently, the authorities are in the process of proposing to send Hoang Van D. to compulsory drug rehabilitation as a person without a stable place of residence.
