Police also summoned 6 individuals aged 25 to 44 for questioning. The initial cause was identified as a dispute originating in an elevator at the Hoang Cau street building.

Previously, on the evening of 14/5, two women encountered a group of 4 others (two men, two women) while in an elevator at the Hoang Cau street building. The two sides then exchanged loud words over a general issue.

After exiting the elevator, the two women were attacked, with some individuals grabbing their hair and assaulting them. When residents intervened, the assailants paused and left in a Lexus. The incident, which police described as "causing public disorder," was recorded by residents and posted on social media, sparking widespread outrage.
