On the morning of October 5, Colonel Dinh Xuan Thiep, Deputy Director of Yen Bai Provincial Police, visited Yen Bai Provincial General Hospital to visit Major Luong Van Chien, Chief of Tan Huong Commune Police, Yen Binh District, who was injured while on duty.
Previously, at around 3:30 p.m. on October 4, Tan Huong Commune Police received a report from the people that in Khe May village, Tan Huong commune, Yen Binh district, Luc Van Dong, born in 1979, residing in Khe May village, was threatening people with a sword to not let them harvest rice.
The working group led by Major Luong Van Chien, Chief of Tan Huong Commune Police, along with 3 commune police officers and the security force of Khe May village came to resolve the incident.
However, at this time, Luc Van Hung, born in 1975, residing in Khe May village (Luc Van Dong's brother) held a knife and threatened and cursed the working group. The working group asked Hung to put down the knife but the subject did not comply. Comrade Chien fired a rubber bullet into the air to warn Hung to stop threatening the working group. However, Hung did not comply and even used a knife to attack the working group.
At the same time, Luc Van Dong ran down the hill holding a sword about 1.5m long and slashed Major Luong Van Chien in the back and neck. Then the two subjects took the weapons and ran towards the hill behind the house.
Currently, Yen Binh District Police are coordinating with functional forces and Provincial Police to organize the pursuit and capture of the above subjects.
Immediately after the incident, Major Luong Van Chien was taken to the Commune Health Station for first aid. Comrade Chien is currently being treated at Yen Bai Provincial General Hospital, and his injuries are no longer life-threatening.
