ILOILO City – Four men were injured in a brawl in Barangay Laguda, La Paz district.
Three drunken men were arrested. They were facing frustrated homicide and physical injury charges.
One of those injured, 24-year-old Eddie Olvido, had a stab wound on the neck. He was confined at St. Paul’s Hospital Iloilo.
His companions George Tamanio, 34, Aljim Divino, 29, and Rex Vincent Talabor, 24, sustained bruises and contusions. They refused to be taken to the hospital. Iloilo City Response Team personnel treated their wounds.
All four were residents of Yulo-Arroyo streets in City Proper.
They were walking from a mall around 11:30 p.m. on May 13 when a group of three men approached them, said Senior Inspector Rey Sumagaysay, district police chief.
A heated argument between the groups resulted in the brawl.
Police officers on patrol broke up the fight. That was when they saw Olvido lying on the ground with a stab wound on the neck.
Mark Jason Cordova, 20, Clint Piamonte, 18, and Carlo Ulayan, 18 — all of Barrio Obrero, Lapuz — were arrested and detained at the La Paz police station.
“Initial investigation showed the three were drunk and just randomly provoked the victims,” said Sumagaysay./PN
