Note: The article did not report on whether the businessman survived the attack. I’ve tentatively marked this as an injury.

 

Motorcycle-riding robbers brazenly struck in broad daylight, holding up and shooting a businessman near a hotel in Manila’s Ermita district on Monday afternoon.

Radio dzRH reported the robbers struck shortly after their target got off a sport-utility vehicle at the corner of A. Mabini and Pedro Gil Streets.

“Kumakain dito ng banana cue, pagparada ng Pajero bumaba ang lalaki at ang sabi, holdup (The gunmen bought banana cue from me and were eating it when they saw the sport-utility vehicle park. They then shouted ‘Holdup’ when the passenger got off),” a banana cue vendor said.

She said the suspects waited for about 30 minutes before striking.

The victim, who was not immediately identified, tried to run towards a nearby hotel but was shot at least four times. The sport-utility vehicle was also hit.

The dzRH report said the suspects took the victim’s clutch bag and fled onboard a motorcycle.

Shells recovered from the crime scene indicated the suspects used caliber .45 pistols.

Bystanders rushed the victim to the Manila Doctors’ Hospital for treatment. – RJAB Jr/KBK, GMANews.TV
