A security guard on Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street in downtown Ho Chi Minh City was assaulted and injured after reminding a couple not to walk their dog into the pedestrian area on Thursday morning.
Police in Ben Nghe Ward, District 1 said on Thursday that they were investigating the incident, which involved T.C.H., a 26-year-old resident of District 8, and others in association with the attack.
At around 9:00 am, N.X.C., a 58-year-old security guard, was on duty on the pedestrian street when he noticed H. parking his motorcycle nearby.
H., accompanied by a woman, entered the pedestrian area with his dog unleashed and unmuzzled.
C. asked them not to let their dog roam freely and remove the pet out of the area. However, instead of complying, the couple argued with the security guard.
Suddenly, H. picked up a metal stick and struck C. on the head, causing severe bleeding and knocking him unconscious.
