Blocking advertising, neighborhood leader beaten and hospitalized

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of June 6, Hung Binh Ward Police, Vinh City, are urgently investigating and clarifying the case of a group of young men who beat a neighborhood security guard to the point of hospitalization.

The person who was beaten and hospitalized was Mr. Tran Tu Tam (born in 1962) - deputy block leader and head of the civil defense team of block 24, Hung Binh ward.

Previously, at around 9:30 a.m. on June 6, Mr. Tam received a report from Mr. Luong Van Trung (born in 1956), block leader of block 24, about three young men riding two motorbikes posting advertisements and posting classified ads on walls and electric poles in block 24.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Dac, Chairman of Hung Binh Ward People's Committee, Vinh City visited and encouraged Mr. Tam who was beaten and hospitalized.

When Mr. Tam arrived to stop these three people from posting advertisements and posting ads, two people suddenly rushed in and punched him in the face with their hands (suspected to have something hard in them). The strong punch caused Mr. Tam to bleed profusely and collapse on the street.

After beating Mr. Tam, the three men fled the scene on a motorbike. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Tam was taken to the Vinh City General Hospital for emergency treatment with a wound around his eye, requiring 18 stitches.

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Dac, Chairman of Hung Binh Ward People's Committee, the ward has separate areas for posting advertisements and classified ads, but many people still openly post them in prohibited areas, affecting the urban beauty and causing frustration among the people.

On the afternoon of June 6, leaders of the People's Committee and the Hung Binh Ward Police went to Vinh City General Hospital to encourage and visit Mr. Tam, hoping that he would recover soon to continue his work of protecting the people.

Hung Binh Ward Police also summoned three people involved in the assault of Mr. Tam to headquarters to continue investigation and clarification.
