The incident began on the evening of 20/3, when Nguyen Tan Hien, 51, from Dak Lak, and four companions went to purchase durian at a warehouse in Binh Thanh hamlet, Ngu Hiep commune.
Around 2:30 AM the following day, negotiations between Hien's group and Hieu's group, who were workers at the warehouse, escalated into an argument and a physical altercation. Hien and his friends then got into their automobile and departed.

At this point, Hieu and his group of youth and juveniles mistakenly believed that Hien's group had not paid for the durian, prompting them to pursue the automobile for several kilometers.

Near the Hung Long intersection, located in Binh Duc hamlet, Ngu Hiep commune, Hieu's group caught up. They used chairs to smash the automobile windows and assaulted four individuals from Hien's group.
When bystanders intervened, both parties conversed and realized the entire incident was due to a misunderstanding. Subsequently, the injured individuals were taken to the hospital.
The investigating agency is continuing to clarify other actions of those involved.
