Truong Dinh Nhat, residing in Tu Nghia District, Quang Ngai Province, central Vietnam, was detained on Monday for attacking a delivery man with multiple tools and items and breaking his arms.
Colonel Phan Van Nhan, head of the Tu Nghia District Police, signed a decision on the urgent arrest of Nhat on charges of deliberately inflicting injury.
Police officers are waiting for the conclusions on the level of injury of the delivery man, named Lam Anh Dat, a 24-year-old resident of Nghia Hanh District, Quang Ngai Province.
“T. [Nhat’s wife, who also attacked Dat] is bringing up a two-year-old child, so investigators are collecting more evidence to decide whether they will arrest T. or not,” Nhan added.

At about 11:00 am last Friday, Dat delivered two pinkster flower trees worth VND200,000 (US$8.4) to Nhat at a delivery cost of VND30,000 ($1.3).
As Nhat refused to receive the trees, Dat called the seller to inform them of the case and gave his mobile phone to Nhat so that he could talk with the seller.
Dat later told Nhat to pay the delivery cost, adding that the two pinkster flower trees would be returned to the seller.
Arguing about the delivery cost, Nhat kicked Dat hard, punched him, and used a flower pot to hit him in his head.
Nhat also asked his wife to close their house gate and grabbed an iron tube, while his wife used two stainless steel chairs, to attack Dat.
Dat later opened the gate to escape. He hid himself in another house and asked a resident to inform the local police of the case.
Dat was taken to the Quang Ngai General Hospital at 2:00 pm on Friday for treatment for multiple injuries.

Due to his severe condition, he was later transferred to the Military Hospital 17 in Da Nang, also located in the central region.
On Sunday, a surgery to realign the bones in Dat’s two broken arms was performed successfully.
He is receiving further treatment at the hospital.
Nguyen Dang Vinh, chairman of the Tu Nghia District People’s Committee, said Nhat and his wife’s attack on Dat, using an iron tube, a flower pot, and stainless steel chairs, is savage, sparking public concerns.
The People’s Committee has assigned police officers to quickly investigate the case and impose strict sanctions against the couple.
