Previously, at around 10:30 p.m. on March 19, Thanh Nhan Ward Police (Hai Ba Trung District) received information that a traffic collision had occurred at the Vo Thi Sau - Thanh Nhan gas station, leading to a fight.

Police determined that the cause originated from a traffic collision between V.D.L. (born in 1988, residing in Hoang Mai district) and NVS (born in 1994, residing in Xuan Phuong, Nam Tu Liem) and a man and woman on a motorbike.

While the two sides were resolving the issue, suddenly three young men on a motorbike passed by, witnessed the argument and stopped to intervene. Seeing that the three young men were not involved and appeared to be drunk, Mr. L. and S. loudly asked the three "strangers" to leave.

However, this request made the three subjects angry, they used their hands and feet and pulled out their belts to attack Mr. L. and Mr. S. On the night of March 19, Thanh Nhan Ward Police issued a referral for these two people to go to Thanh Nhan Hospital for examination and first aid, fortunately they only suffered minor injuries.

At the scene, the police seized a white SH motorbike with license plate 29D1 - 755xx... and identified the group of people who beat the person mentioned above.
