At around 2:00 p.m. on March 25, the joint force of Quang Ninh province stopped a pickup truck on National Highway 18, in the area of ​​​​Km 15 Joint Station - Dan Tien Wharf, Mong Cai city, running in the direction of Ha Long - Mong Cai due to suspicious signs.

Seeing the police stopping him, the driver reversed and crashed into a 7-seat police car that was blocking the rear, then turned around and fled in the direction of Mong Cai - Ha Long.

Fearing that the driver's reckless actions would endanger the lives of others, the police fired two shots into the tire.
