On August 30, 2019, Vinh City Police received a complaint from Mr. Nguyen Van H. (residing in Quan Bau ward, Vinh city) with the following content:
At about 8:15 a.m. on August 29, 2019, Mr. H. was driving a car to the railway overpass (Nguyen Sinh Sac Street, Cua Nam Ward, Vinh City) when a young man driving a Hyundai i10 car, license plate 37A - 170.98, forced and blocked the car. The young man got out of the car, holding an iron rod, went to the driver's seat of Mr. H.'s car and said, "You're driving in the wrong lane, give me the money and let me go."
