On the afternoon of January 15th, a truck was traveling on Dang Cong Binh Street, Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune, Hoc Mon District when it was chased by a group of motorcyclists. When the truck stopped due to traffic congestion in the Cau Lon area, this group blocked the truck and demanded that the driver get out.
Not stopping there, the group also used sticks and stones to break the truck’s windows, then pulled the assistant out of the cabin and brutally assaulted him. The truck driver managed to escape, but the assistant was beaten to the ground.

According to an eyewitness, the assaulting group was very aggressive, with about 4-5 people taking turns hitting the assistant, even using sticks to attack. People around did not dare to intervene because the group was too violent. Only when people helped the assistant into a house did the group leave.
The heavily injured truck assistant was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune Police and Hoc Mon District Police are urgently investigating and searching for those involved to handle them according to the law.
According to initial information, the truck driver said that while moving, he swerved to avoid a motorcyclist rushing out of an alley. This action made the group of motorcyclists believe that the driver was driving recklessly, leading to an argument and then the attack.
The incident of the truck assistant being assaulted in Hoc Mon once again raises an alarm about the increasingly complex situation of traffic violence. Stronger measures are needed to prevent and severely punish violations of the law, ensuring safety for road users.
