An incident has been clarified where a member of the Hue Zero-Cost Rescue Team, while on their way to assist a resident with a broken motorcycle, was involved in a traffic collision and subsequently beaten by a man, leading to hospitalization.

On the evening of June 3, a leader of the Vy Da ward People’s Committee (Hue City) stated that they would verify and clarify information regarding a member of the Hue Zero-Cost Rescue Team being beaten by a man after a traffic collision with a woman.

Accordingly, that same evening, a clip appeared on social media showing a young person, a member of the Hue Zero-Cost Rescue Team, lying in a car being taken to the hospital in an injured condition.

The clip attracted thousands of views and comments. The majority believed that the act of beating the person by the unknown man was unacceptable.

Nguyen Ngoc Nhat Hoang, the leader of the Hue Zero-Cost Rescue Team, confirmed that the information above was posted by him.

Hoang stated that on the evening of June 3, the team received a request for assistance from a resident whose motorcycle had broken down along the road. Two team members, H.N.K. and P., set out to assist the resident.

When the two drove their motorcycle to the Van Cao street area (Vy Da ward, Hue City), a traffic collision occurred with a woman. K. got off the motorcycle to check if the woman was injured, when suddenly an unknown man rushed at K. with a stick and attacked him. This man struck K. multiple times in the chest and legs, causing him to collapse.

Seeing his teammate fall, P., who was traveling with him, quickly intervened and called for help from residents, taking K. to the emergency room in an unconscious state.

“After the incident, we reported it to the Vy Da ward Police. Regardless of who was right or wrong, using a stick to beat someone like that is unacceptable,” Hoang said.

According to a representative of the Traffic Police Department, all vehicles are strictly prohibited from making U-turns on pedestrian crossings, regardless of whether there are pedestrians at that time.
