According to Hung Dung Ward Police: At 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 neighbors' chickens. Throwing away the knife, 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, arrived at 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.
