However, the subject did not comply, accelerated and crashed straight into the working force and then fled. As a result, Captain Ngo Viet Thanh, an officer of the Nghin Bridge Traffic Police Station, suffered a broken rib and had to be taken to a medical facility for emergency treatment.

Immediately after the incident, the task force investigated and arrested the subject who caused the incident.

Authorities are continuing to investigate and clarify the incident.
