Parañaque City police officers on routine patrol arrested a Chinese national Wednesday, July 23, after he allegedly harassed a 35‑year‑old man while carrying a bladed weapon.
City police chief Col. Nicolas Pinon said the suspect, identified as Linagding, 34, a resident of Makati City, was collared on Mayuga Street in Barangay Tambo.
The victim claimed that the suspect confronted him for no apparent reason, shoved him to the ground, attempted to punch him, and drew a fan knife from his pocket.
The victim sought assistance from patrolling Tambo Police Substation officers, who promptly pursued and arrested the suspect.
The cops recovered from the suspect a cutter knife.
He was taken to the Investigation and Detective Management Section (IDMS) for documentation and the filing of appropriate charges.
He is facing charges of unjust vexation under the Revised Penal Code, violation of Batas Pambansa Blg. 6 (Illegal Possession of Bladed Weapons), and violation of Section 32 of Republic Act No. 7166 in relation to the Omnibus Election Code.
