Summary of the incident
Time and location: On the evening of August 9, in the elevator lobby of building B1, Sky Central apartment building, 176 Dinh Cong, Hanoi, a tattooed man attacked a woman (28 years old) with many punches and kicks to the head, face and stomach in front of another woman and about four children.
Initial cause: Originated from a small conflict between children of two families. The man asked the other side to apologize, but when he did not agree, he lost control and caused violence.
Subject's behavior: The camera recorded him patting the victim on the shoulder, punching and kicking the victim while many people and children witnessed. There was even a threat to take the victim's life.
Intervention and arrest:
The building security and residents intervened when the incident occurred.
Hanoi police have issued an emergency arrest warrant for Dang Chi Thanh (31 years old, residing in building B1) to investigate the act of "disturbing public order"
Legal consequences
The investigation agency determined that the act of beating a woman in public can be prosecuted under the crime of "Intentionally causing injury" (Article 134 of the Penal Code), especially when the act is of a hooligan nature. If the injury rate is below 11%, the penalty can be reformed without detention for up to 3 years, or imprisoned from 6 months to 3 years. If from 11% to less than 30% or there are aggravating circumstances, the penalty can be 2-6 years in prison.
In the current social context, the act of beating women in front of children not only violates the law but also seriously affects the human values and inspiration of the community.
Lessons from the incident
A small collision by children can also lead to legal and mental tragedy if adults cannot control their emotions. Vietnam is currently hanging between the need for civilized living and the reality of violent behavior with a thuggish mindset.
Each individual needs to practice the ability to control emotions and not let anger lose reason, because "anything that begins in anger ends in shame" - as Benjamin Franklin once reminded.
Conclusion
The incident at Sky Central apartment building is once again a wake-up call for the whole community: violent behavior, especially against women and children, is unacceptable. Calmness, civilized behavior, and raising awareness of the law are the only ways to protect safety and common living values.
