At approximately 1:25 AM on April 6, 2017, Mr. Bui Van Ngoc, a gas station attendant at Khanh Huong retail gas station in Xom Moi hamlet, Chau Thon commune, Que Phong district, was sound asleep when he was startled awake by an extremely strong electric current that left him dizzy and numb.

He only caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure leaping from his bed, running towards the door, and disappearing into the darkness.

After a moment of shock, Mr. Ngoc regained his composure and saw a yellow electrical wire, about 10 meters long, on his bed, plugged into a 220V power outlet.

The perpetrator used this electrical wire, stripping off part of the outer wire to expose the copper core, and after connecting it to the electricity, pressed it directly against Mr. Ngoc's face.

Immediately, Mr. Ngoc called Mr. Tran Dinh Khanh, the owner of the gas station residing in Moi Hamlet, to come to the scene.

After Mr. Khanh checked, he found no property missing from the store, but he did find that the perpetrator had left behind an old red ASAMA bicycle and a Samsung power bank outside the gas station.

Currently, the victims are being guided on how to write a report to the district police.
