Afraid of measuring alcohol concentration, 2 subjects rushed straight at the police and ran away.
Than Uyen District Police, Lai Chau Province, said they are temporarily detaining two suspects, Phan Hai Quan (born 2004), and Lo Van Quy (born 2005), both residing in Phuc Than Commune, Than Uyen District, for the crime of "Resisting people on official duty".
At about 9:47 p.m. on December 30, the patrol team of the Traffic Police and Public Order Department of Than Uyen District Police coordinated with Traffic Police Team No. 2, Traffic Police Department of Lai Chau Provincial Police to carry out a task at Km343+500, National Highway 32, Zone 5, Than Uyen Town. The working group signaled to stop a motorbike, with 2 people on board, driven by a young man.
When the working group signaled the vehicle to stop, the driver did not comply but increased the speed and crashed straight into the working group on duty.
As a result, Captain Nguyen Ngoc Kenh, an officer of the Traffic Police and Public Order Team of Than Uyen District Police, was injured.
The working group and local people controlled the two subjects and promptly took comrade Nguyen Ngoc Kenh to the Than Uyen District Medical Center for emergency treatment.
Working with the police, the suspects confessed that Quan did not have a driver’s license and had been drinking. Fearing a heavy fine, Quan accelerated to escape and injured the traffic police officer.
