An intoxicated Chinese national was brought to the Manila Police District headquarters early Sunday morning after two taxi drivers alleged that the foreigner attacked them while on the way to his destination.
Identified as Zhang Tianlong, the suspect was said to have been in one of the taxis when he attacked the driver and ran amok while inside the vehicle, prompting the driver to instead bring him to the police.
“Kasi sabi niya alam niya raw ‘yung pupuntahan niya tapos wala, kahit saan kami mapunta, ‘No, no, no.’ ‘Yung metro malaki na hindi niya raw babayaran,” one of the taxi drivers said in Nico Waje's report on “24 Oras Weekend” on Sunday. The driver said the man was acting like he could break the windows of the vehicle, which prompted him to alight. He reentered when the man cooled down, which is when he headed to the MPD.He was eventually calmed down after his companions arrived.This time, the foreigner allegedly booked a ride through a transport network vehicle service to bring him to a hotel in Pasay City earlier that night.
“Nagwawala na ‘yung ano, ‘yung pasahero, tapos pilit niya na na kinukuha ‘yung kamay ko sa manibela. Nung hindi niya makuha, ‘yun na, sinakal niya na ako,” the taxi driver said. The taxi driver was said to have driven the subject to the MPD Station 5, and left him inside the vehicle while he reported the incident. When he returned, the subject was no longer in the area and was said to have hailed the second taxi.— Jon Viktor Cabuenas/DVM, GMA Integrated News
