Regarding the specific incident, Tin stated that in April 2017, Tin rode a Honda Air Blade motorbike from Ho Chi Minh City to Vung Tau.

When he reached Vo Nguyen Giap Street (National Highway 51, Ward 12, Vung Tau City), the traffic police signaled him to stop because he was speeding. But Tin did not comply and ran away.

At this time, a traffic police officer used a special vehicle to chase after him, but Tin did not stop and continued to drive at high speed to the 3/2 roundabout - Cua Lap bridge, turned onto National Highway 51B, went to Thong Nhat street, then to Xo Viet Nghe Tinh and escaped the pursuit of the traffic police.

At the meeting, Tin confessed that while running away from the traffic police, he swerved and swerved to prevent the police from catching him and ran a red light. All of this was recorded by the "Go Pro Hero 5 Black" dash cam mounted on Tin's helmet.

On the afternoon of September 12, a leader of Vung Tau City Police said that after confessing the incident, the police let Tin go and will punish him according to regulations.
