According to initial information, Khai is a local "big shot" and was sent to compulsory drug rehabilitation.

On November 13, a working group from Sa Dec City Police came to Khai’s house to take him to drug rehabilitation. However, because he had been sent to rehabilitation many times, Khai was resentful.

Khai used a bamboo stick to hit Lieutenant Colonel Le Hieu Hoa - Deputy Chief of Sa Dec City Police - in the head, causing this police officer to suffer head injuries and a broken left collarbone.

Afterwards, Khai was subdued and taken to the police station for questioning. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Hoa was taken to the hospital by local people for emergency treatment.

The police are currently detaining Khai for investigation and processing.
