Traffic cop suspended for kicking motorcyclist for failing to pull over

Captain Duong Hai of the District 3 traffic police was patrolling on the afternoon of Dec. 5 when he saw a 30-year-old man driving in the wrong lane on Ba Thang Hai and Su Van Hanh streets in District 10, and signaled him to stop.

But the man did not comply and instead tried to flee, weaving through traffic toward District 3.

Hai chased after him.

When they reached Hoa Binh Theater, the motorcyclist climbed a sidewalk.

Hai caught up with him as he got back to the road and first kicked the front of his vehicle, causing the motorcyclist to lose balance. But he continued to drive on and Hai kicked him on the body this time, causing him crash into another motorcyclist.
