A man on a motorbike snatches lottery tickets from a disabled street vendor in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in this still image taken from surveillance footage, July 20, 2025.
The suspect, identified as Nguyen Trieu T., was taken in for questioning, according to Phap Luat Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh newspaper, after a video circulated online showing a man wearing a ride-hailing uniform grabbing a bundle of tickets from a vendor and fleeing on a motorbike.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening in Tang Nhon Phu Ward, formerly part of old Thu Duc City, before a recent administrative reorganization.
The victim, 44-year-old Quach Van N., who has a physical disability, was unable to pursue the suspect, according to police.
Authorities said the vendor did not report the case, but a family member shared the footage on social media.
Police identified the suspect through surveillance and local tip-offs.
Officers found T. in possession of a stack of lottery tickets.
He later admitted to taking them, police said.
The investigation is ongoing.
