POLICE have formally filed charges against a taxi driver who used a special spray which immobilized a female passenger in Pasig City last week.

Pasig police chief Senior Supt. Mario Rariza Jr. said charges of robbery, threat and grave coercion was filed against Dominador Obsenarez, 38, of Tupaz Subd., Guitnang Bayan I, San Mateo, Rizal, before the Pasig City Prosecutor’s Office.  

Obsenarez was arrested when he tried to drug a passenger identified as Micah Crystel Sual, 18, student, of Block 1, Lot 16 Aduana Metropolis, Bgy. Sta. Lucia, Pasig.

Reports said the victim flagged down a Tricon taxi (TWJ-743) driven by the suspect at the corner of Amang Rodriguez Avenue and East Bank Road in Bgy. Manggahan, Pasig City.

The suspect allegedly used a chemical inside his taxi which made the victim feel numb and dizzy.

Some members of the Barangay Security Force in Mangahan noticed the commotion, rushed to help the victim and arrested the suspect.

Rariza said they already sent a letter to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTRFB) informing that the driver and the unit of Tricon taxi was involved in “drugging” a female passenger.
