A motorcycle rider was arrested Thursday after he allegedly attacked two men with a screwdriver during a road rage incident in Bonifacio Global City, police said.

The suspect, a 48-year-old identified by the Southern Police District (SPD) as alias “Sherwin,” faces two counts of frustrated homicide.
