A man and his son in Hanoi have been detained for investigation after they released a dog to attack a neighbor during a confrontation.
Hanoi police announced on Saturday that Tran Quoc Luong and his father, Tran Nhat Hoa, are being investigated to determine if their acts can be deemed disrupting public order.
The incident began on the afternoon of Dec. 25, when Luong, 37, had a heated argument with a 39-year-old neighbor in Hong Van Commune.

The initial confrontation was broken up by Hoa, 66, but the situation quickly escalated.
Later that afternoon, as Luong let his dog out of the house, he encountered the neighbor and his wife once again.
This led to a second heated argument, during which Hoa struck the neighbor in the face multiple times.
Meanwhile, Luong directed his dog toward the confrontation, inciting it to attack the neighbor and several bystanders.

Despite bystanders’ efforts to stop the dog, it continued to exhibit aggressive behavior. The neighbor sustained multiple injuries, and the situation escalated, causing public disturbance in the neighborhood.
A witness described the dog, a Pitbull weighing over 30 kilograms, as highly aggressive when released and said that it also bit a woman standing nearby.
