What happened
The incident took place in Ho Chi Minh City: a man caught a woman in a car with another man and started a fight. This was reported by VnExpress, as retold by Gazeta.Ru. One of the videos shows the man opening the car door and talking to the couple inside; a second video captured the fight itself. The clip gained many views and caused a public outcry, but it was later edited and supplemented with contradictory information.
The authorities' response and consequences for those involved
The story reached Pham Kieu Hung, chairman of the Cu Chi commune People's Committee. A preliminary check showed that none of those involved in the fight were married to each other — that is, the original version about infidelity was not confirmed. The girl's mother said that after the video spread, her daughter was severely shocked and ended up in hospital; the family contacted the police three times. The authorities are gathering data and identifying the users who posted and spread the footage in order to determine those responsible and take action. The outcome of the check and possible measures have not yet been reported.
