Pham Van Thuong jumped off his motorbike and rushed to the cab where he saw two men wrestling nearby, one was bleeding badly. He was reportedly the only person running to the scene to save the driver while others remained recording the altercation.

“My blood boiled when I saw the stabbing wound on the driver’s chest. Catching the attacker who was wielding the knife was my only thought at that time,” Thuong said.

Thuong was quick to disarm the attacker, rolling him onto his stomach and cuffing him with his shirt. Local police arrived and made arrests shortly after that.

The wounded taxi driver was promptly taken to hospital by local people.
