Officials are investigating an incident which saw crowds of Vietnamese workers clash with Korean security in the country’s Northern Province of Bac Ninh.

Police from Yen Phong District said the violence on Tuesday broke out at Samsung Display, a screen production unit of the South Korean company.

It’s reported that about one-thousand workers gathered in front of the company.

State media cited a representative from Samsung Vietnam confirming no conflict took place.

Instead, the company said the case was a misunderstanding between the company’s security guard team and construction workers.

Samsung Display has recently received a license to invest $US2.5 billion in Vietnam.

The extra funding is expected to boost its total investment in the country and will increase the plant’s capacity to 220 million products a year from the current 180 million.
