The case of the guard refusing to open the barrier: The 'author' has been revealed, netizens are outraged

A railway crossing guard at Thu Duc City refused to open the barrier when a train was approaching, so he was scolded and hit hard by a woman, causing a broken nose.

On December 31, Saigon Railway Joint Stock Company said it had just sent a quick report to the authorities about the assault of a female crossing guard. At around 8:40 p.m. on December 30, at the Uu Dam Pagoda level crossing in Thu Duc City (HCMC), the female guard closed the barrier to prepare for train number 4501 to pass.

While the vehicles were stopped waiting for the train to pass, two people on a motorbike demanded that the staff open the barrier to let them pass. When the staff at the level crossing did not agree, the woman cursed and got off her motorbike, then rushed to assault the staff member Vo Thi Binh (at this time the train was passing through the level crossing).

Despite being stopped by railway staff and passersby, the woman continued to attack the female barrier keeper. The incident was reported to the Hiep Binh Chanh Ward Police, Thu Duc City and the woman is currently being detained. According to the company, the female barrier keeper Vo Thi Binh was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. According to the hospital's initial diagnosis, the barrier keeper suffered a broken nose.

On December 31, Hiep Binh Chanh Ward Police in coordination with Thu Duc City Police said they had invited the woman who assaulted the barrier guard to come in for questioning and take her statement. On the same day, the police also took the female barrier guard for a disability assessment to have a basis for handling the case.
