Amour for 'street knights' proposed after deadly robbing incident
Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan has suggested providing armour for local men who voluntary join in crime fighting after two men were killed in a motorbike robbery.
Bui Minh Trang, deputy head of People's Hospital 115, said one of the injured men, Tran Van Hoang, was admitted to the hospital. He had a 10-centimetre long laceration on his chest and his lung, heart and liver were all injured. The emergency operation was successful and Hoang has regained consciousness.
"The city police should consider this solution. The fund for the equipment can come from the private sector," Nhan said.

He suggested providing body armour and equipment for the local crime-fighting groups."The city police should consider this solution. The fund for the equipment can come from the private sector," Nhan said.
