The suspect, identified as N.V.Q. (34 years old), confessed to the act, attributing his behavior to intoxication during the incident.
The alleged assault took place on September 7th at the IEC Resident apartment complex in Hanoi. The victim, referred to as H.T., was accompanied by her 9-year-old nephew when they encountered N.V.Q. inside the elevator. N.V.Q. allegedly touched H.T. inappropriately.
Following the incident, H.T. reported the matter to authorities on September 9th. N.V.Q., during questioning, admitted to being drunk and claimed to have little control over his actions.

H.T. recounted her distressing experience, stating that she was terrified by the man’s actions. She described him as having a buzz cut, wearing a dark T-shirt, white shorts, and slippers. The man reportedly continued to stare at her and sneer, intensifying her fear and leaving her too scared to react.
H.T.’s family shared that she had recently moved from her hometown to live with her siblings in Hanoi. They reported that she was visibly distressed and hesitant to use the elevator alone following the incident. The family appealed to authorities for a swift and thorough investigation, emphasizing the need for safety and order within the residential area.
