Binh Dinh: Car driver threatened to have a knife thrown at his face for parking in front of a house (Clip: Duc Minh).

Previously, a clip was circulated on Facebook showing a shirtless man holding a pair of gardening shears, repeatedly challenging and threatening to "throw a knife" at a driver's face because he parked his car in front of his house.

The clip posted on social media attracted much attention from the online community, most of whom disagreed with the elderly man's behavior.

Through investigation, the man holding the scissors in the video is Mr. NKT, the owner of house number 15-17, Vo Muoi street (at the intersection of Vo Muoi - Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Ngo May ward, Quy Nhon city, Binh Dinh) and the car driver is Mr. LHL (in the same ward).

According to Mr. L., the incident happened on the morning of June 5. At that time, he parked his car in accordance with the odd-even parking ban and did not obstruct traffic.

"Although the house was not doing any business or doing any activities, as soon as I parked my car, Mr. T. immediately chased me away. I used my phone to record the incident and he loudly threatened me.

When I said that parking was legal, Mr. T. declared that I would not park and asked to move the car immediately. Because I did not want to argue further, I drove the car somewhere else," said Mr. L.

A representative of Ngo May Ward Police said: "After working with him, Mr. T. only said that the two sides talked back and forth and did nothing. This is just a matter of internal conflicts among the people, so we only reminded him."

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Chien, Chief of Office of the Traffic Safety Committee of Binh Dinh Province, according to Article 37 of the Road Traffic Law, the installation of road signs is one of the contents of traffic organization. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee is responsible for organizing traffic on the road systems under his management.

"For the inner city area of ​​Quy Nhon, the current regulations on parking bans, for example parking bans on even-odd days, the Provincial People's Committee has authorized the City People's Committee to implement.

Only the City People's Committee has the authority to regulate and place signs. Therefore, all no-parking signs posted and placed by residents and businesses are against regulations and have no legal value," said Mr. Chien.
