(Baonghean.vn) - While fighting over a motorbike taxi fare, Mr. Toan was beaten by the driver until his nose bled. After that, this man took revenge, beating the person who had threatened him, causing him to be hospitalized and die.
On October 4, 2019, the Investigation Agency of Vinh City Police (Nghe An) prosecuted Nguyen Huu Toan (Le Loi Ward, Vinh City) for intentionally causing injury leading to death.
According to information from the investigation agency: At around 3:30 p.m. on September 24, 2019, two motorbike taxi drivers, Mr. Nguyen Huu Toan (residing in block 7, Le Loi ward) and Mr. Nguyen Hong C. (born in 1958, residing in Vinh Tien block, Hung Binh ward) were picking up passengers in front of house number 79, Phan Boi Chau street (block 1, Quan Bau ward) when a conflict arose over competing for passengers.

At around 4:00 p.m. the same day, after Nguyen Huu Toan drove the passengers back to the front door of house number 79, Phan Boi Chau street, he was beaten by Mr. C. and his son-in-law, Phan Cong Chung (born in 1986; residing in Tan Tien block, Le Mao ward), causing Mr. Toan to have a nosebleed.
After that, Mr. Toan went home to clean his wounds. But because he was upset about being beaten earlier, Nguyen Huu Toan called Nguyen Cong Hung (born in 1978, living in block 7, Le Loi ward) to go back to the place where he was beaten to find Mr. C. to take revenge. When he left, Hung brought with him 2 knives about 70cm long.
When he arrived, he saw Mr. C standing alone, so Hung said, "What's so big about this that you called me out?" At that moment, Toan rushed in and repeatedly hit Mr. C's face and head, causing him to become dizzy and fall down. After that, Mr. C was helped into a nearby construction materials booth to rest, but Toan continued to rush in, grabbed his collar and hit Mr. C in the face.
Seeing that, Hung called Toan "stop hitting him", until people stopped him, Toan stopped and went home.

At about 2:00 a.m. on September 26, 2019, Mr. Nguyen Hong C died.
The case is under further investigation.
