Investigation into assault of 82-year-old war invalid

(NLDO)- An 82-year-old war invalid was attacked by neighbors who came to his house to quarrel, pushed the gate open and entered the yard.

On December 13, Dong Hung District Police ( Thai Binh Province) said they were investigating the case of Mr. NXL (82 years old, residing in Nguyen Xa Commune, Dong Hung District, Thai Binh Province), a war invalid, who was assaulted and injured by a person in the same commune.

Despite being stopped by neighbors, VNT still showed an aggressive attitude and threatened to assault the 82-year-old war invalid (Photo cut from video )

According to the report of Mr. NXL's family, at about 9:00 a.m. on November 16, Mr. L. went out to the alley and discovered some scrap metal scattered on the road near the gate and next to the house. About 20 meters from the house, there was a sack of scrap metal lying on the side of the village road.

Seeing that, Mr. L. cleaned up the iron that had fallen on the road outside the gate and put it in a bag of scrap iron. Because he didn't know who had dropped it, he told someone who lived near his house to take it.

Afterwards, Ms. Ng.TC (living in Le Tien village, Nguyen Xa commune) came and claimed that the iron bag was hers. Thinking that Mr. L. took the iron bag to sell, Ms. C. used insulting words towards Mr. L.

At noon on November 16, when he learned that Mrs. C. had come to claim the sack of scrap iron that had fallen and belonged to him, Mr. NVT returned the sack of scrap iron to Mrs. C. Mr. T. also confirmed that Mr. L. had not sold the scrap iron to him.

It seemed like the matter was resolved, but Mrs. C. and her husband, VNTh., still went to Mr. L.'s house and loudly cursed.

After that, Mr. Th. pushed the gate open and rushed into the yard to assault Mr. L. Although the neighbors stopped him and pulled him out to the street, Mr. Th. continued to attack Mr. L. right at the gate, causing a head hemorrhage.

Outraged by the incident, Mr. L's family then filed a report to the Nguyen Xa Commune Police.
