Hoi An to investigates tourist bicycle dispute

On October 22, a video was uploaded onto the internet in which a local woman was in dispute with two tourists. Several tourists rented bicycles to travel around Hoi An. When they arrived at Le Loi Street, they parked their bicycles near a street vendor to visit a clothes shop and the town's centre.

However, when they returned, their bicycles were locked by the street vendor nearby. A woman, who is the street vendor, came and pretended to hit them. The woman then unlocked their bikes but threatened to hit them with the lock, forcing the tourists to take a step back. The woman then pushed their bikes and made them fall onto the road.

Many people criticised the woman's behaviour.

On October 23, Nguyen Van Lanh, head of Hoi An Department of Culture and Information, said they were investigating the case and had identified the woman in the clip. Lanh said they will have suitable punishment.
