The intense altercation between a cop and an alleged retired soldier leads into a street fight along Arnaiz and Osmeña Highway in Makati City.
The intense confrontation was captured on video by Joon Olavere and showcased a police officer in a white t-shirt attempting to subdue a rider wearing a helmet who claimed to be a retired soldier.
In the video, the police officer can be seen using his legs and knees to prevent the rider from getting up from the road. The cop is seen using his left hand to take an item, allegedly a firearm, from the rider’s waist. In his right hand, the police officer is also holding a firearm.
According to Olavere, the incident occurred on August 25, 2023 around 7 am.
Pasay Police head Police Colonel Froilan Uy confirmed that the police officer wearing a white t-shirt in the video is a member of Pasay Police assigned to Police Community Precinct 4. He was on his way to work when the incident happened.
Uy explained the context of the altercation, stating, “Noong cinut (cut) siya, siyempre hinabol niya, and para malaman na mali ‘yung ginawa ng rider at kamuntik kasi siyang mabangga. Habang kinokompronta ito at sinasabi sa kaniya ‘yung kaniyang pagkakamali, nag-dirty finger pa ito at minura siya. Akmang bubunutan siya ng baril. Kaya ang ginawa ng pulis natin, may presence of mind, dinakma ‘yung kamay nito. At nagpambuno na sila.”
Based on the information provided to Uy, the rider allegedly showed an ID showing his status as a retired member of the Philippine Army. A firearm was also reportedly seized from the rider. The Pasay Police have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
The rider, after being released by the Makati City Police Substation 3, left the scene to retrieve the necessary documents for the firearm he had in his possession. Police Colonel Edward Cutiyog, head of Makati Police, has relieved the Station Commander of Substation 3 from duty for allowing the rider to depart from the scene.
