On October 27, the Lang Son Provincial Police Department, in coordination with relevant divisions, detained four foreign nationals suspected of involvement in a violent attack along National Highway 1A, near Dong Kinh Ward, Lang Son Province.

At approximately 11:10 p.m. on October 26, Hoang Duc Quyet, a container truck driver born in 1980, was driving through kilometer marker Km25+500 in Na Tha Hamlet, Dong Kinh Ward, when he witnessed a car swerve across the road. Moments later, an occupant opened the door and fled the vehicle.

Quyet stopped to check on the situation and discovered the driver of the vehicle with severe neck injuries. He immediately transported the victim to the hospital and reported the incident to the police.

Upon receiving the report, provincial police leadership assigned the Criminal Investigation Division to examine the crime scene and assist in the victim's emergency care.

The victim was identified as N.V.D., born in 1985 and a resident of Dao Vien Ward, Bac Ninh Province. He worked as a taxi driver.

Through rapid deployment of investigative measures, law enforcement officials apprehended four foreign individuals suspected of involvement in the attack.

Preliminary investigations indicate that this group of foreigners had illegally crossed into Vietnam through a broker, seeking employment opportunities.

The group was picked up by Mr. D., who was driving them on National Highway 1A toward Hanoi.

However, fearing they were being trafficked, the suspects restrained Mr. D. and stabbed him in the neck with a knife in a desperate attempt to escape.

Mr. D. was taken to Viet Duc Hospital in Hanoi, where he has since passed the critical stage and is receiving further treatment.

Lang Son Provincial Police continue to investigate the case and will proceed in accordance with legal procedures.
