Police have arrested a man after he broke a car window and assaulted the driver inside following a traffic collision that hurt no one in Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday.

Ngo Duc Giang, 43, is facing charges of "damaging property" and "causing public disorder."

Giang admitted to his actions, stating that he was angered when the oncoming vehicle encroached on his lane, leading to a minor collision and prompting his attack on the other driver.

A video captured by local people shows Ngo Duc Giang smashing a car window and attacking the driver inside in Thu Duc City, HCMC, Sept. 15, 2024.
