Two people in critical condition after using knives and swords to slash each other

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of April 13, Quynh Luu district police said that the agency was temporarily detaining a group of young men who had fought and used knives and swords to slash each other, causing two people to be hospitalized in critical condition.

The incident occurred in the early morning of April 12 in Son Hai commune, Quynh Luu district. The group of people who fought and even used weapons to slash and kill each other were all young people living in the area.

Mr. Thai Ba Hai - Chief of Son Hai Commune Police said that at around 2 am on April 12, he received information from local people that a group of more than 20 young men were fighting in front of the secondary school gate of the commune. Upon receiving the news, the Commune Police Department quickly arrived at the scene to resolve the incident. However, after arriving, the group of young men quickly fled the scene. Among the group of young men who quickly fled, there were 2 young men who remained lying in a pool of blood with injuries all over their bodies. Immediately, local people took the 2 young men to the Quynh Luu District General Hospital for emergency treatment, then transferred them to Nghe An 115 Hospital.

At the scene, evidence collected included 5 knives, 1 sword 1m long; 2 wooden sticks over 1m long and some other weapons. That same night, the commune police collected evidence of the case and went to households to persuade some young people to surrender.

By the morning of the same day, 9 young men in the group called “Hoi Ben Cang” had surrendered to the police station. After that, 4 other young men continued to surrender. In the group of young men, the leader of the gang was Pham Van Quan (born in 1995).

The weapon was seized.

At the police station, the group of "Port Association" stated that in the early morning of April 12, after going to eat porridge at night in Quynh Ngoc commune, returning through the gate of Son Hai secondary school, they met another group of about 9 to 10 young men walking on the street. After that, both sides argued and then slashed each other. As a result, Tran Van Cuong (born in 1990) was slashed on the left side of his hip by Tran Van Ha (born in 1995), causing Cuong to collapse on the spot, blood flowing all over the street. Nguyen Van Thanh (born in 1992) was slashed on the left arm by Tran Van Tien (born in 1992), causing Thanh to suffer a severed tendon. Some other subjects suffered minor injuries due to the collision.

At the police station, Le Viet Luu (born 1984), one of the young men in the "Port Association" group, stated: Because before, both groups had had conflicts and disagreements with each other, so whenever they met on the street, they argued and tried to find a way to get rid of each other. This led to the serious incident that occurred on the morning of April 12.

Currently, 11 subjects who surrendered have been transferred by the commune police to Quynh Luu district police to take statements and continue to investigate and clarify the case.
