At 2 PM yesterday, Mr. Pham Quoc Vinh - Head of the Nui Tuong Forest Ranger Station (Cat Tien National Park) - along with 3 officers patrolling in sub-area 32 of Cat Tien National Park, discovered a group of people with 3 dogs illegally hunting animals.

After a period of observation, four forest rangers approached and ordered the group of hunters to stop. However, the group resisted.

During the struggle, one of the hunters used a sharp knife to stab the head of the Nui Tuong Forest Ranger Station in the stomach.
