The Franco-Vietnamese Hospital (L'Hopital Francais de Hanoi), where she is said to receive treatment, declined to comment.

However, a source close to the hospital said late Sunday that the foreign woman is Ukrainian. She was knocked unconscious but luckily only soft parts were injured. The woman was discharged from the hospital after 2-3 hours of check-ups and treatment.

Another source who was indirectly involved in helping sending the woman to the hospital provided the same information.
