Three men have been jailed for a drunken attack on a beautiful airline employee at an airport after she refused to pose for one more selfie with them.
Le Thi Giang, who works for budget carrier Vietjet Air, had already posed for one photograph with the trio at Tho Xuan Airport in the Thanh Hoa Province of northern Vietnam.
But when they asked her to pose with them for one more selfie, she politely declined, explaining that she was on duty.

The trio – Le Van Nhi, 41, Le Trung Dung, 34, and Pham Huu An, 28 – then launched a savage attack on Ms Giang, slapping and kicking her to the floor.
All three have now been jailed at Thanh Hoa Province court. Nhi for three years, Dung for two years and 10 months, and An for one year and 10 months.
Their sickening attack on the woman provoked a public outcry after it was caught on camera by eyewitnesses. Security guards at the airport have already been fined for failing to protect Ms Giang.
Nhi, Dung and An, who all lived locally, had travelled to the airport to see off a friend who was taking a flight.
After their friend had checked in, the trio spotted Ms Giang in the departure hall and asked to take a photo with her.
She agreed but they then asked her to pose for another photo. This time she declined, saying she was working, and the men became violent, slapping and kicking her.
An airport manager, who witnessed the attack and tried to stop the men, was also slapped in the face by one of the trio.
Two security staff at the airport were also attacked when they tried to intervene. The trio also threatened one of Ms Giang’s colleagues who was filming the incident on her phone.
The trio, who witnesses said were drunk, were eventually subdued by security guards and taken to a local police station where they were charged with public disorder.
