Previously, at around 7:45 p.m. on May 6, the Khanh Dang passenger bus (running from Nam Dinh to Quang Binh) was traveling on National Highway 1A in the North-South direction. When it reached Mai Hung Ward, Hoang Mai Town, the bus stopped to return 2 bags of goods. However, at this time, an argument broke out between the bus company and the recipient about the shipping fee.

The situation became more tense when the owner called another group of people carrying weapons and using motorbikes to block the front of Khanh Dang passenger bus.

During the fight, the bus assistant Khanh Dang, Ngo Sy Tho (born in 1979, living in Dien Xuan commune, Dien Chau district) was slashed on the left thigh and beaten with a pipe by this group of people.
