On August 5, 2025, Hanoi police detained Bui Truong Son, 48, from Thanh Hoa, Vietnam for investigation on suspicion of causing public disorder after he pulled the ignition key from a moving passenger bus.
On the morning of August 4, a passenger bus with license plate 29H-984.XX, driven by Nguyen Minh Tuan, was moving slowly near Alley 124, Nguyen Xien Street on Ring Road 3 when a 7-seater car with plate number 30M-258.XX cut in front of it.
The car’s driver then approached the bus, climbed into the cabin, snatched the ignition key, and walked away—leaving over 40 passengers stranded and causing a traffic jam under scorching 40°C heat.
The bus was only able to resume its journey after nearly an hour, using a spare key. The incident was reported to Thanh Liet Ward Police for further action.
