To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

A 62-year-old Japanese man sustained severe injuries after he was attacked in Parañaque City by a suspect who stole his bag containing cash and other valuables.

According to John Consulta’s Monday report on “24 Oras,” a viral video showed the suspect repeatedly striking the victim on the head while the latter was lying on the ground.

The suspect then grabbed the victim’s bag and fled as if nothing had happened. Authorities responded to the incident after receiving a report from a concerned citizen.

Meanwhile, the victim was found with his head, clothing and hat covered in blood. They recovered the wooden stick used in the attack.

Police said the victim may have been birdwatching in a wetland park area when he was attacked around 11 a.m. on Saturday. Stolen was cash amounting to P30,000 and Y30,000 (around P11,500) as well as a mobile phone and Japanese passport.

Authorities said communicating with the victim was difficult since he does not understand English.

Barangay officials said the victim sustained a crack in the skull and a partially split ear, which required stitches. He also suffered from swelling around the eye and is currently receiving treatment in a hospital.

For insight regarding the arrest of the suspect, posted below is an excerpt from the follow-up news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

In a statement, the SPD identified the suspect as 49-year-old “Ariel”, who was arrested in a subdivision on Monday evening.

Recovered from the suspect were the victim’s sling bag, an iPhone 14, earpods, a Japanese passport, identification cards, an ATM card, a boarding pass, assorted Japanese coins, among others.

Ariel was brought to the hospital where the victim positively identified him.

A complaint for robbery with violence or intimidation of persons under Article 294 of the Revised Penal Code is being prepared against the suspect, according to the police.

If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could be a lot more violent thieves or robbers targeting foreigners within the city?
