Previously, at around 2:30 p.m. on December 25, 2018, Hoang Van Nam used a homemade knife about 1 meter long to storm into Nghi Tan Ward People's Committee (at block 6, Nghi Tan Ward, Cua Lo Town) and shouted: "Where are the Chairman and Vice Chairman?", and walked around the headquarters causing chaos, causing panic among staff, and halting all activities of Nghi Tan Ward People's Committee, Cua Lo Town.
