Police have arrested a suspect seen in a viral video assaulting passengers aboard a public jeepney, an incident that left several commuters injured, including a senior citizen who required hospitalization.
The Muntinlupa City Police Station identified the suspect as alias “Vincent.” Officers apprehended him at approximately 2 a.m. Thursday at Carzo Compound in Barangay Alabang during a follow-up operation.
The arrest came a day after video footage circulated on social media showing a shirtless man attacking passengers inside a jeepney that had just departed South Station in Alabang.
According to a witness, the shirtless suspect suddenly boarded the public utility vehicle. Moments later, about three men reportedly followed him inside and began punching him. Fearing the altercation would escalate, passengers urged the elderly driver to flee the area.
The suspect then allegedly turned his aggression toward the commuters, threatening and attempting to punch several passengers. Two senior citizens tried to shield other passengers from harm during the commotion.
One of the elderly passengers sustained serious injuries and was rushed to Asian Hospital for medical examination and treatment.
The witness clarified that the jeepney driver, estimated to be between 70 and 80 years old, bore no responsibility for the incident and was also placed in danger.
