On February 27, Cam Xuyen District Police (Ha Tinh) announced that they had just prosecuted and arrested Phan Xuan Thong to investigate the crime of Intentionally causing injury, according to Article 134 of the 2015 Penal Code.
According to the investigation documents, at around 8:00 p.m. on February 18, while attending the wedding of a friend in the same village, Thong took a cup of wine to Dao Dinh Hoang’s (24 years old) table to socialize. However, some people refused Thong’s offer of wine.
Thinking that Hoang's group had disrespected and looked down on him, Thong returned to the table indignantly. Holding a knife in his hand, Thong returned to the table to retaliate.
At 11pm that same day, when Hoang and his friends got on their motorbikes to leave, Thong stabbed Hoang twice in the left armpit. Seeing the victim run away, Thong continued to chase and stab five other young men.
Thong ran away from the scene, threw the weapon in the ditch, and went to an acquaintance's house to sleep.
The injury assessment concluded that the victims suffered 6-13% health damage.
