According to the victim’s family, the incident occurred on May 5, near Phuoc Hung Secondary School. While K. was studying, some students from the same school called K. to a coffee shop near the school. Outside the school, K. was threatened and assaulted by another male student who had dropped out of school.

“At first, when he returned home, he did not dare to tell his family. However, because he was swollen and bruised, his family investigated the matter and persuaded them to take him to the hospital. We reported the incident to the school to ask the authorities to intervene and resolve the issue,” said a representative of K.’s family.
