According to the documents of the Investigation Agency, on July 26, Do Duc Hai (born in 2007), residing in Thanh Tru commune (Vinh Yen) and a group of friends were sitting drinking water at Bac Dam Vac bridge when Ha Minh Dang (born in 2010), residing in Tich Son (Vinh Yen) and a group of friends passed by and had a conflict with Hai's group. After that, Ha Minh Dang and Do Duc Hai texted each other via messenger to make an appointment to fight at Bac Dam Vac bridge the next night.

On the evening of July 27, Ha Minh Dang invited 11 friends to gather to fight, including: Nguyen Xuan Tung, Nguyen Quy Trong, Tran Vinh Thanh, Nguyen Tuan Huy, Phung Van Hieu, Quang Xuan Truong, Hoang Duc Anh, Nguyen Khac Duc Minh, Duong Quy Quoc, Phan Dac Hiep, and Pham Minh Duc.

Do Duc Hai also invited 10 friends to fight with Dang's group: Bui Dinh Duy, Do Viet Anh, Le Hoang Viet, Do Chi Thanh, Nguyen Hoai Nam, Tran Cong Dung, Bui Duc Duy, Nguyen Van Hieu, Nguyen Gia Khiem, Nguyen Minh Thanh.

At around 9:00 p.m. the same day, Hai called Nguyen Quang Linh and he invited four other friends of his: Dang Tien Dat, Tran Cong Thao, Tran Dinh Khanh, and Nguyen Trung Nghia.

While traveling from Dao Duc town to Huong Canh town (Binh Xuyen), Linh's group met Vu The Dan and Tran Duy Ngoc's group hanging out, so Linh invited this group to go with Do Duc Hai's group to find and attack Ha Minh Dang's group.

At around 9:30 p.m. the same day, the two groups met at the Bac Dam Vac bridge area in Dong Da ward (Vinh Yen) and immediately attacked each other with pig spears and machetes. Seeing that Do Duc Hai's group was larger and had many weapons, Ha Minh Dang's group ran away.

At the time the group ran away, Nguyen Tuan Huy, Tran Vinh Thanh, Ha Minh Dang, Quang Xuan Truong, Phan Dac Hiep, Nguyen Quy Trong saw a group of 6 other young men standing under the overpass in Dong Da ward (Vinh Yen). Thinking that the young men were part of Do Duc Hai's group, Huy, Thanh, Dang, Truong, Hiep, and Trong shouted and chased them. Trong fired 2 shots from an alcohol gun loaded with iron pellets, hitting a young man in the back.

Based on documents and evidence in the file, the Vinh Yen City Police Department determined that the subjects in Do Duc Hai's group and Ha Minh Dang's group, while chasing and fighting each other, were driving at high speed, shouting, swerving, using knives, machetes... all of which are dangerous means and weapons that have negatively affected security and order, endangering traffic participants.

For the remaining cases, at the time of committing the violation, the person was under 16 years old, had a clear place of residence, had no criminal record, and was currently a student at high schools and vocational schools, the Investigation Agency applied measures to prevent, monitor and consolidate the case file for handling according to the provisions of law.
