The subject who stabbed and injured a bus employee has been caught.

(Baonghean.vn)- On July 7, Colonel Tran Ngoc Tu - Chief of Vinh City Police said: the perpetrator of the crime on the bus running on the Ha Tinh - Vinh Station route on the afternoon of May 31 was arrested.

The suspect, Nguyen Huy Duc (born in 1981, residing in Ha Tinh city, Ha Tinh province), was arrested while hiding in Ninh Binh province. At the investigation agency, Duc stated that the reason for the crime was a conflict with a bus staff member over a few unpleasant words.

Previously, (on the afternoon of May 31), bus number 06, license plate 38N 5210, running on the Ha Tinh - Vinh Railway Station route, when the bus reached the area near the end of Ha Tinh city, it picked up a male passenger who bought a ticket to get off at Hong Linh Town. However, when the bus reached this point, the male passenger fell asleep. He thought that the bus company did not call him, causing him to miss the stop, so they had an argument.

The male passenger then bought another ticket to Vinh city. When the bus reached the Ben Thuy bridge toll station, the young man suddenly pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed Ho Sy Hoang (22 years old), an employee on the bus, in the stomach. Hoang collapsed on the floor of the bus and was taken straight to the hospital for emergency treatment. It was determined that his right rib artery was severed and he had to be treated for about a month (Hoang has now been discharged from the hospital).

The crime scene on the bus was captured by three cameras at the toll station. In particular, the suspect was seen holding a knife and leaving the bus, heading towards the Lam River embankment. Vinh City Police then collected the video and focused on verifying and searching for the perpetrator. After more than a month of tracking, they urgently arrested the perpetrator, Nguyen Huy Duc, born in 1981, residing in Ha Tinh City, Ha Tinh Province.

Currently, Vinh City police are taking statements from the perpetrator to consolidate the case file and continue to investigate and clarify the case./.
