Woman Left Injured After Being Beaten in Makati City Over Alleged Theft
MANILA – A 55-year-old woman accused of theft was left injured after being beaten by three people in Makati City.
On Thursday, December 4, 2025, a 55-year-old woman was left injured after being dragged, beaten with a slipper, and pulled by the hair by three people along Estrella Street corner Osmeña in Barangay Bangkal, Makati around 7:50 p.m.
The woman suffered a bump on her head, along with scratches and bruises on her face and hands. According to emergency responder Raisa Pascua from Barangay Bangkal, the victim shared that her attackers even slammed her head against a metal post near Osmeña Highway.
“Ang gusto po ng patient ay manghingi ng pera para pamasahe pang-uwi ng Gen. Trias (Cavite) pero paglabas po ng BAWC natin galing CR, umalis na po ‘yung pasyente,” Pascua said.
The victim was accused of stealing three thousand pesos. Pascua explained that the people involved knew each other, and the victim had stayed at the home of one of the attackers in Pasay two days earlier.
The money allegedly went missing from that house, and the woman was blamed, although she insisted she did not take anything.
From Pasay, the group reportedly tracked her down in Makati, where the attack took place. Witnesses quickly sought help from barangay officials. By the time responders arrived, the attackers had already fled.
The victim was brought to the barangay hall because she refused to be taken to the hospital. She told responders that she only wanted some money for transportation back home to General Trias, Cavite.
However, when a barangay worker stepped out briefly, the woman suddenly left the hall and disappeared.
