Previously, the press reported that a 76-year-old man, while exercising on Tran Dai Nghia Street, Bach Khoa Ward, Hai Ba Trung District, collided with a woman driving a motorbike in the opposite direction.

Immediately after, this old man was suddenly attacked by a man who brutally attacked him. The victim was later hospitalized because of a bleeding wound in his mouth.

Through initial verification, the beaten person was Dr. NK (76 years old), who used to teach at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. The person who assaulted Dr. NK was Mr. Nguyen Duc Hoang.

Previously, responding to VTC News, Hanoi Secretary Hoang Trung Hai said that Hanoi City Police are currently investigating this issue.

"The police are clarifying this and will report it. They are operating on the street like normal citizens, but if you break the law, you must be punished. The principle is that if you do something wrong, you must be severely punished, and you are a citizen, but also a cadre or civil servant, so you must be severely punished," Secretary Hai said.

Secretary Hai also emphasized: "If a civil servant, a civil servant of Hanoi, commits a violation, he will be dealt with even more severely."
