After that, this person sat on the throne of the Nguyen Dynasty - a national treasure recognized in 2015, made arrogant words and acted to violate this artifact. Information from the authorities said that this person broke the armrest of the throne.

Through camera extraction and initial investigation by the authorities, at the time of the incident, two security guards, Dang Quang Long and Dao Hoang Vu, were both present in the Thai Hoa Palace area. When entering the Thai Hoa Palace area, the subject showed abnormal behavior, a security guard invited the subject to go to the back of the palace. However, the subject then returned, sneaked into the Nguyen Dynasty throne display area, shouted and then broke the front left armrest.

To prevent the subject from acting rashly and destroying other exhibits, security guards approached from a distance, reminded the subject to go outside, and called to request additional support. At 12:10 p.m. the same day, Tam was restrained and reported to Dong Ba Ward Police to make a record of the arrest.

Dong Ba Ward Police have drawn up a record of the arrest of Ho Van Phuong Tam, but have not been able to record his statement because he showed signs of mental disorder, screaming, and talking nonsense, unable to answer the investigator's questions.
