Commune police chief beats man to hospital

According to Phu Rieng District Police, at around 9am on August 9, Binh Son Commune Police received a report of a three-wheeled vehicle - suspected to be evidence of a theft, so they went to the scene to verify. Mr. Dau Ngoc Hoan, 30 years old, admitted that it was his vehicle and did not allow the authorities to take it away without making a report.

In the video that is circulating online, Mr. Hoan is seen sitting on a tricycle. Lieutenant Colonel Le Huy Cao kicks and punches him repeatedly, causing bleeding from his head and ears. The victim is then handcuffed.

Then, Mr. Hoan's family asked the police to remove the handcuffs and take the victim to Binh Phuoc General Hospital. The incident was recorded by local people.

According to a leader of Binh Phuoc Province Police, the Binh Son Commune Police force, while performing their duties, had an offensive action that angered the people. "We are handling the case according to procedure, handling the case to the extent of the mistake, absolutely not covering it up," he said.
