Tong Phuoc Ngo, a traffic policeman in Phung Hiep District in the southern province of Hau Giang, was killed as he was chasing 2 suspects, a local source said.
Ngo was among the 18 traffic police officers assigned to patrol No. 927 Street in Phuong Binh Commune on the evening of Feb. 17.
At 8:40 pm that day, Ngo found 2 suspicious men on a motorcycle and ordered them to stop. But they ignored his order, forcing Ngo to chase them.
Shortly afterwards, one of the suspects kicked the head of Ngo’s bike, causing him to lose control and smash his bike into a tree.
Colonel Nguyen Hai Son, director of the provincial public security department, said the 2 suspects had been arrested.
