Shocking: Mysterious man "running rampant" at intersection in Ho Chi Minh City and the shocking ending?

The incident of a man wearing a motorbike taxi uniform arbitrarily adjusting the traffic lights at the intersection of Vo Nguyen Giap - Do Xuan Hop, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City has caused a stir in public opinion in recent days. The unexpected statement about the real motive has left many people surprised.

On January 17, 2025, the online community was stirred up by a clip recording a scene of a man wearing a GrabBike shirt and helmet standing close to the traffic light control post at the intersection of Vo Nguyen Giap - Do Xuan Hop, Phuoc Long A ward, Thu Duc city. In the clip, this person opened the control cabinet and put his hand inside to impact the control panel, while thousands of vehicles were traveling through the area. After performing the action, this person also raised his hand to signal another person standing on the other side of the street.

The clip quickly went viral on social media, attracting a series of comments and shares. Many people expressed concern about the act of arbitrarily interfering with the traffic light system, saying that this behavior could endanger other road users and disrupt traffic safety. In addition, there were also some curious opinions about the motive of this man, whether he had any personal goals or not.

In response to the incident that has caused a stir in public opinion, the Board of Directors of Ho Chi Minh City Police Department has directed the Traffic Police Department (PC08) to coordinate with Thu Duc City Police and related professional units to urgently investigate, verify and clarify the incident and strictly handle any signs of law violations.

After investigation, the authorities identified the man in the clip as Mr. NVT (50 years old, living in Thu Duc City), a GrabBike driver. Mr. T. was summoned to the police station to work and give a statement.

At the police station, Mr. T. made a statement that surprised many people. He said that because he often parked his car at the intersection of Vo Nguyen Giap - Do Xuan Hop to wait for customers, he noticed that the traffic flow through this area was often crowded, causing traffic jams. Seeing the Youth Volunteer Force and Traffic Police regularly adjusting the traffic lights here, Mr. T. paid attention and learned how to adjust them.

According to Mr. T., from the beginning of 2025 until now, he has arbitrarily opened the control cabinet and adjusted the traffic lights about 2 times, every time he saw traffic jams without the authorities there. He affirmed that his actions stemmed from the desire for traffic to be clear, to avoid congestion and traffic jams, and had absolutely no other personal motive. Mr. T. also admitted that arbitrarily controlling the traffic lights was a wrongdoing and pledged not to repeat the offense.

Mr. T.’s words provided a different perspective on the incident. Rather than an act with malicious intent, Mr. T.’s behavior seemed to stem from a spontaneous desire to help keep traffic flowing. However, regardless of the reason, arbitrarily interfering with the traffic light system is a violation of the law and poses many potential risks to traffic safety.

In addition, the incident also raises issues regarding the management and supervision of traffic light systems. Authorities need to strengthen inspection and maintenance of the system, and take measures to prevent unauthorized interference with the system, ensuring the safety of traffic participants.

The case of a man arbitrarily adjusting traffic lights in Thu Duc City ended with Mr. T’s surprising words and commitment not to repeat the offense. However, it left a profound lesson about traffic awareness and civic responsibility. Hopefully, through this incident, everyone will raise their awareness of obeying traffic laws, contributing to building a civilized and safe traffic environment.
