Laoag City cops assigned to the police assistance center "Cabeza" and personnel from the Provincial Mobile Force Company 1 assigned to the PROTECT Box "Rotonda" responded to a reported commotion that occurred at a grocery in Brgy. Bengcag, Laoag City, Ilocos Norte at around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 September.

In an exclusive video secured by Daily Tribune from a civilian who helped pacify the situation, the suspect identified as Albert Miguel, 30, ran at a local radio station from Myrna Grocery, where the commotion initially started.

When Patrolman Laforga, identified as the victim, was about to arrest Miguel, the suspect started becoming unruly and violent. He allegedly resisted arrest and uttered, "Ikkatem ta uniformem ta agkabil ta ne! Agkabil ta nga duwa, mano-mano, ikkatem uniformem kada paltog mo (Remove your uniform and let's fight! Let's fight, one on one, remove your uniform and your gun)," while pushing and punching Laforga.

Daily Tribune tried to interview Miguel but instead, he gave rude answers by name-calling the writer and even spitting on the writer. Miguel will face direct assault, and resistance and disobedience charges.
