A security guard, identified as Nguyแป…n Vฤƒn Minh, 20, surrendered to Hanoi police on June 20, 2026, five days after allegedly stabbing a driver and pursuing another victim at the New Horizon apartment complex. Minh had been on the run since the incident.

The conflict reportedly erupted when a driver, N.M.D., who was dropping off a guest, was asked to pay a 160,000 Vietnamese dong parking fee. Dissatisfied with the charge, an argument ensued between the driver, the guest Mr. T.M.H., and several individuals identified as building security guards.

During the altercation, Minh allegedly used a weapon to inflict serious injuries on the driver and pursued Mr. H. when he attempted to intervene. Mr. H. sustained a head injury requiring three stitches, while the driver suffered a broken finger and multiple head stitches, along with other soft tissue injuries. Previously, Hanoi police had detained three other guards from the New Horizon complex on charges of intentional injury.
