A man in Da Nang has been detained by police for allegedly attacking his father with a sword and throwing gasoline bombs into his home. Do Van Tinh, 27, faces charges of intentional injury and resisting law enforcement officers.

The incident reportedly began on June 11 following a domestic dispute. Tinh allegedly went to his father's house with a sword and gasoline. He is accused of igniting a gasoline container and throwing it into the house, then attacking his father, Do Van Moc, with the sword, causing a left forearm injury.

Witnesses and local security personnel intervened, but Tinh allegedly returned with two more gasoline containers. As police were documenting the scene, Tinh ignited these containers and threw them at the officers and bystanders. Officer Doan Ngoc Dao of Quang Phu Ward Police sustained facial burns and a corneal injury, while Mr. Moc suffered burns to his shoulder and leg.

Police quickly subdued and arrested Tinh. Investigators seized the gasoline containers and the sword. The investigation is ongoing to gather further evidence for legal proceedings.
