Tran Thi Trang, 30, known as Trang Tran, was officially arrested on the evening of February 27. Trang was also temporarily detained for further investigation into her offense, Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem District police announced.

Trang Tran and her friends were in a taxi driving in the wrong direction on Hanoi’s Dao Duy Tu Street on February 26. When it was stopped by police officers, the Vietnamese model started reacting negatively.

She stepped out of the car, was uncooperative and showed contempt, insulted and even attacked the police officers.

The model was taken to the police station due to her abusive behavior and actions against law enforcement officers on duty, where she continued to insult other police officers.
