Nguyễn Văn Minh Tiến

Nguyễn Văn Minh Tiến (born in 1974) is an electronic worker in Tân Phú ward, Hồ Chí Minh city, Việt Nam who has caught hundreds of criminals and plunderers in Hố Chí Minh city.

From 1997 to present, he has more than 300 times chased and caught criminals. Many times, he was rewarded by the government and was considered a typical person in the All People Protect National Security Movement. Many newspapers and Vietnamese people call him "Tiger Tiến", "Street Hero", "Lục Vân Tiên" (a legendary Vietnamese hero).

Many times, Tiến was riding his motorcycle, chasing criminals on the streets in Hồ Chí Minh city. Facing danger when chasing and fighting against criminals did not make him feel despondent. The Hồ Chí Minh city's police has issued a special hooter-light for his motorcycle so that he could chase criminals more easily.

Vietnam prime minister Võ Văn Kiệt has called him a "Hero in the battle against criminals".^[1]
