The Police Investigation Agency of Ho Chi Minh City, in conjunction with District 1 Police, is looking into an incident that took place early on December 28 at an entertainment venue on Tran Hung Dao Street in Nguyen Cu Trinh Ward, District 1.
Video footage shared on social media reportedly depicts men without shirts and covered in tattoos wielding weapons and attacking others inside what seems to be a karaoke establishment.
