Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam: A US citizen in Vietnam has been handed a 7-years prison term after he stabbed a Vietnamese citizen last year. Nguyen Trung Hau, 32, was a Vietnamese-American, who was arrested last year after a traffic collision with a 20 year old,  Nguyen Dang Long.

According to local media reports, Hau was driving his wife on Nguyen Phuc Nguyen Street near the Saigon railway station in District 3 on July 14, when his motorbike hit Long's Motorbike who had run the red traffic light.

                        

Though nobody was hurt in the accident, Hau and Long engaged in a fight, and Long ran away from the scene of the fight.

After a few minute, the couple encountered again while walking near the Saigon Railway station, and stopped to continue with the young man. Hau punched him in the left eye, and later stabbed him with a jack knife in the left hip.

Hau was rushed to the hospital, and was treated for the stab wounds.

The Prosecutor had asked that Hau be sentenced to 12-14 years in prison, but the judge said they will give him a "lenient sentence" because he had a clean record, and confessed to the crime, and compensated the victim.

Hau's lawyer said his client should have been charged with deliberately injuring others, and not murder. The legal team have 2 weeks to appeal the verdict.
