Minor surrendered by mother after bottle attack

A 15-year-old boy was turned over to social welfare authorities after a video captured him injuring a gasoline station attendant with a broken bottle in the city’s Sampaloc district, police said.
The confrontation escalated after the pump attendant ordered the minor to leave the premises.
Closed-circuit television footage showed the teenager chasing and threatening the attendant before striking him with a broken glass bottle and fleeing the scene by clinging to a passing jeepney.
The victim suffered a laceration to his right hand.
According to station employees, management had banned the teenager from the property due to repeated vandalism and suspected theft. Workers alleged that the minor frequently vandalized the public restroom, intentionally clogged toilets, and pilfered items from parked vehicles.
Witnesses cited that the teenager became highly aggressive when confronted by the station’s supervisor.
“The boy was gesturing profanities at the supervisor from a moving jeepney, shouting that he would return to shoot him,” said a motorcycle rider who witnessed the encounter.
