Print 
After more than 10 days investigating, police have arrested four young men for allegedly slashing beautiful female students on their thighs or buttocks using a razor or a small knife in Tay Ninh province’s Tay Ninh town in the south.
* They targeted beautiful female teen schoolgirls
* At least 12 have fallen victims
* Motive could stem their seeking “strong feelings”
Yesterday, the local police stopped Pham Thanh Duy, 28, and Nguyen Thanh Tai, 28, while riding a scooter on local streets as they showed some suspicious signs.
The police later found two Thai knives and a paper knife hidden in their scooter’s coffer.
From the two guys’ declaration, the police later seized Vo Le Hoang Ngu, 29, and Phan Ca Li, 17.
All the four are residents of Hiep Binh ward, Tay Ninh town.
Tai confessed to the police that he asked Tai to drive him around the Tay Ninh tow and when they saw beautiful girls, then Tai immediately slashed them on their thighs or buttocks.
Within two days March 7 and 8, Tai himself attacked eight schoolgirls.
Their acts have caused panic among school girls in Tay Ninh and many girls in Tay Ninh dared not to ride motorbikes or bicycles to school alone.
Their threatening acts also caused worries to many parents who had to ride their daughters to school and take them home after class.
Strong sensation from slashing?
Ca Li confessed that he and his friends attacked 4 schoolgirls on Nguyen Chi Thanh street, where Tay Ninh and Tran Dai Nghia High School are located, and another girl in another area in Hoa Thanh district.
Asked why, the four said they wanted to seek for “strong feelings” and forced their victims to return home to change their clothes.
Some schoolgirls fell down from their vehicles to the ground after being attacked and some of them had to be hospitalized for emergency aid due to blood loss.
The first victim was D. Q., a 12th grade schoolgirl, who was travelling to Tay Ninh High School on her electric bicycle on the morning of March 7.
When Q. got to Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, two young men riding a scooter behind her suddenly sped up to get closer and the guy sitting behind the driver used a small knife to slash her on her left thigh.
The slash, about 10 cm long, torn her white trousers and made her bleed from the thigh.
From March 11-13, three schoolgirls of Tran Dai Nghia, Nguyen Trung Truc and Ly Thuong Kiet Tình High Schools were the victims of the four young men.
The police are continuing investigation.
