According to the investigation, around 2:30 am today, Thanh was driving a Bentley car on Nguyen Trai street. Upon reaching the intersection of Nguyen Van Trang in Ben Thanh ward, his vehicle collided with a ride-hailing car driven by a 34-year-old man, who was transporting a 39-year-old male passenger.

Both parties stopped their vehicles in the middle of the intersection to resolve the issue, but a conflict and loud argument ensued. Shortly after, Dong arrived at the scene on a motorbike and, with Thanh, scuffled with and chased the 39-year-old male passenger.

The incident caused disorder in the area and only ceased when traffic police (CSGT) and Ben Thanh Ward Police arrived to restore order. Authorities took the involved individuals in for questioning.
