Breathtaking moment of rescuing female nurse being controlled by suspected 'drug addict'

The rescue of a female nurse who was controlled by a suspect on drugs using fake knives and guns this morning, October 29, in Thuong Tin, Hanoi, was extremely tense.

The hostage rescue plan is a vivid proof that the successful and absolutely safe hostage rescue has become a very unique "specialty" of Hanoi City Police. From hitting the psychology of the subject, to arranging forces and vehicles, many attacks were deployed skillfully, quickly, neatly and safely.

Visiting a friend, pulled out a knife and controlled the medical staff.

At around 9:30 a.m. on October 29, the Criminal Police Department of the City Police Department and the Thuong Tin District Police Department received a report that a hostage situation had occurred at the Central Institute of Forensic Psychiatry (Hoa Binh Commune, Thuong Tin). According to initial reports, at around 8:30 a.m., a young man wearing a jacket entered the hospital's visiting area to provide supplies for patients. The subject asked to meet a friend who was being treated at the hospital, named Hoang.

Commander of the Criminal Police Department, Thuong Tin District Police informed about the incident and the process of rescuing the female nurse.

Because it was not visiting hours and the young man did not have all the relevant documents and was not allowed to enter the patient visiting area, the hospital staff refused the request. Upon hearing that, the subject suddenly pulled out a gun and threatened, then rushed to control a female hospital staff member and took her out to the street, moving to a nearby flower shop. Here, the subject demanded that they be given a car to help the victim and her friend who was being treated escape the scene.

Immediately after receiving the report, Major General Doan Duy Khuong, Director of Hanoi City Police and Major General Dinh Van Toan, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police directed: "By all means, quickly rescue the hostages safely and control and disarm the perpetrator."

Colonel Duong Van Giap - Head of the Criminal Police Department has directed the Special Police Team to coordinate closely with Thuong Tin District Police, criminal forces of Ba Dinh and Hoan Kiem districts... to urgently deploy the fastest and safest hostage rescue plan.

Two subjects related to the case were brought to the police station.

At the flower shop area, the female medical worker was held by the subject with a knife to her neck and a gun to her head. The subject continued to scream, demanding that the police provide a car. Faced with the subject's unusual and reckless behavior, the commander of the Criminal Police Department decided to assign Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung, Captain of the Special Police Team in disguise, to directly drive the car carrying the two subjects and the hostage. When Lieutenant Colonel Tung drove up, the two subjects opened the car door and dragged the hostage inside, demanding that they drive at the highest speed to the center of Hanoi.

The Perfect Rescue Plan

Before Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung took on the role of driver, the identities of the two subjects were clarified by the police as Tran Duc Anh (born in 1994, in Dao Tan, Ngoc Khanh, Ba Dinh, Hanoi) and Truong Kim Hoang (born in 1996, in Yen Thai, Hang Gai, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi).

Assuming that the subject's destination could be one of the two addresses above, the Criminal Police Department coordinated with the Criminal Police Department of Hoan Kiem and Ba Dinh District Police to increase forces to ambush and rescue the hostages. As expected, the subject held a knife and a gun and asked the driver to take him to Truong Kim Hoang's house in Yen The alley. A dense network of reconnaissance personnel was deployed along the route from the control point to the subject's requested location.

Talking to ANTĐ Newspaper reporters about the process of being held hostage, Ms. Le Thi Ha said she tried to stay calm; and emotionally thanked the Director of Hanoi City Police and the Criminal Police force for quickly rescuing her safely from danger.

Talking about the developments in the car, Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung drove the car at high speed as requested by the subjects, while trying to give the reconnaissance teams time and conditions to approach and find loopholes to rescue the hostages.

During the whole process, with a warm and gentle voice, the commander of the Special Police Team kept whispering and talking to avoid the subject from getting agitated. Coordinating well with Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung, the female medical staff also showed that she was very brave, not crying or panicking, but chatting with the "driver" to distract the subject, waiting for the opportunity to take away the gun and knife.

Subject Duc Anh used a knife to control the hostage and dragged Ms. Ha out of the hospital gate.

Although he was in a state of “stoned” but with the nature of a reckless person, and having a bad past with a criminal record for robbery, the subject asked Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung to drive very fast. More cautiously, when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung’s phone ringing, the subject held a gun to the hostage’s head with one hand, and a knife to Lieutenant Colonel Tung’s neck with the other hand.

Even though the sharp blade was pressed against his neck, with the courage of a long-time commander in the Special Police Team, Lieutenant Colonel Duong Minh Tung still skillfully prevented the subject from acting rashly, calmly moving to the location requested by the subject.

The weapon that Duc Anh used to control the hostage

When the car stopped in front of Hoang's house, Duc Anh was still holding a knife and gun to the hostage's neck, demanding that the female medical worker come in with him, and was extremely vigilant, not allowing Lieutenant Colonel Tung to get close. When the door of the house opened, the Criminal Police force of Hoan Kiem District Police and detectives from the Criminal Police Department quickly separated the hostage from the subject.

To get rid of the hostage, the subject held a knife and a gun in his hand, threatening to commit suicide and shoot everyone. At this time, to avoid the subject from being too agitated, endangering the people and himself, the detectives both skillfully maneuvered and persuaded, while trying to approach to wait for an opportunity to rush in, knock down, control and arrest. When the subject's eyes, instead of looking straight at the detectives, turned slightly to the left, with skillful martial arts moves, the detectives knocked down and safely disarmed them. Both subjects were immediately taken to the Criminal Police Department.

At the Criminal Police Department, Colonel Duong Van Giap said: The K59 gun used by Duc Anh is a plastic gun that shoots marbles. However, it is difficult to distinguish it from a fake gun from the outside. After more than 2 hours of deploying forces and planning, the Criminal Police Department and Hoan Kiem Thuong Tin District Police... successfully and safely rescued the hostage, arrested the subject as well as seized the weapon. All the requirements of the Director and Deputy Director of the City Police Department for this hostage rescue were successfully completed.
