Accordingly, at 10:00 a.m. on June 12, Mr. Dinh Tu Anh, Nguyen Quang Truong (both working at the Department of Administrative Management and Social Order of Dong Nai Police), Colonel Huynh Bao Hung (former Head of the Fire Prevention and Rescue Department of Bien Hoa) and Mr. Pham Van Hien (35 years old, businessman) stopped by Lam Vien restaurant in Bien Hoa city for lunch.
At 2 p.m., Mr. Hien showed signs of being drunk. As soon as he left the room, he vomited on the leg of Mr. Nguyen Tan Luong (38 years old), a guest in the next room. Mr. Hien apologized but was not accepted and was punched in the face.
A few minutes later, Mr. Hien went to the next room (with about 10 people) to apologize, and a fight broke out, causing Mr. Luong's friend to be injured in the head. Hearing a lot of noise, the restaurant manager called security to intervene, and order was restored on both sides.
After paying the bill, Lieutenant Colonel Tu Anh and three friends got into a four-seater car to leave, but were blocked by a pickup truck and several motorbikes in front of the restaurant gate. Many tattooed young men continuously shouted, cursed, threw rocks in front of the wheels and deflated the tires. After the police intervened, Mr. Anh's car headed towards the Vung Tau intersection.
However, when they had gone about 200 meters, the pickup truck continued to chase and block them, with about 10 motorbikes locking the car behind them. Many tattooed men surrounded the car, demanding that the four people in the car come out to "talk". Afraid of danger, the group remained in the car, calling the authorities for help.
15 minutes later, many 113 police officers, criminal task forces... appeared densely on both sides of the road to relieve the siege. The group of tattooed young men still did not let the four people in the car leave. "When one person got out to leave, he was approached by five young men, demanding that they return to the car to resolve the previous fight," a witness recounted.

After a few minutes of "negotiation", the gang agreed to leave, 2 police officers and 2 friends got into another car and were taken to the headquarters for questioning.
