Hanoi: Young man detained for pushing traffic police officer into truck; netizens strongly condemn him!

The Hanoi City Police Investigation Agency has placed Dang Tu Minh (born in 1980) under temporary detention and initiated criminal proceedings against him. He was arrested for pushing a traffic police officer into the front of a truck, causing serious injuries, a heinous act that has drawn strong condemnation from the online community.

Horrifying moment: Police officer pushed into the front of a truck.

The incident occurred at approximately 1:35 PM on December 11th, on Provincial Road 429, Phuong Duc Commune, Hanoi. Captain Nguyen Duy Diep, of Traffic Police Team No. 8, Hanoi City Police Department, and his team were on patrol duty. The patrol team spotted a man (later identified as Dang Tu Minh) riding an electric motorbike without a helmet and with a suspicious license plate, so they signaled him to stop and asked him to come to the checkpoint for questioning.

While Captain Nguyen Duy Diep was pushing his electric motorbike along the roadside to take it back to the checkpoint, Dang Tu Minh suddenly acted in an unacceptable and violent manner. The suspect circled around behind him, grabbed both the man and the motorbike, and forcefully pushed Captain Diep in front of an oncoming truck.

The video footage captured this scene, sending chills down many people's spines: A traffic police officer was violently pushed and fell onto the road right in front of a truck. In a split second, he had to quickly turn to avoid being run over by the truck's wheels, narrowly escaping death. The truck driver braked sharply, preventing a serious accident, but the electric motorbike was still run over by the truck. After committing this brutal act, Dang Tu Minh immediately fled the scene.

Serious consequences: Criminal prosecution for the brutal act.

Immediately after the video went viral on social media, public outrage erupted, demanding that authorities take strict action. Many commented that if it were just a traffic violation, Dang Tu Minh would only face administrative penalties; but with his action of pushing the traffic police officer into the front of the truck, he should be prosecuted criminally and face the maximum penalty. This action not only shows disregard for the law but also disregard for the life of a person performing their duty.

Responding to public demand, on December 11th, the Hanoi City Police Investigation Agency consolidated the case file and issued a decision to initiate criminal proceedings against suspect Dang Tu Minh. This decision shows that the authorities assessed the suspect's actions as aggressive and intentionally depriving another person of their life with indirect intent.

A costly lesson about life and law.

Dang Tu Minh's actions not only endangered Captain Nguyen Duy Diep but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law and order. This incident serves as a costly lesson about the consequences of immoral behavior and resistance to law enforcement.

The timely prosecution by the investigating agency under the most serious criminal charge demonstrates the firm resolve of the law against acts that violate the lives of law enforcement officers. This decision not only reassures the public but also serves as a strong wake-up call, affirming that all acts of violence and disregard for human life will be appropriately dealt with by the law. The online community has expressed absolute agreement and hopes that the trial will take place soon, in order to deter other reckless acts in society.
