Korean snatched from Makati clinic

Police are searching for a 25-year-old Korean student who was abducted while being treated inside a medical clinic in Makati City.

Based on the report of PO2 Ricky Corpuz of the Makati police, Park Jung Hwan was forcibly taken by eight unidentified Korean-looking men from the Han medical clinic at the LPL Building located at Gil Puyat Avenue last Saturday afternoon.

Park’s attending physician William Han, said that the victim was confined at the clinic while being treated for head, leg and arm injuries.

Han reported that Park brought himself to the clinic last Friday at around 5 p.m. after he was reportedly beaten up by fellow Korean students.

On Saturday at around 5:30 p.m. Han told the police that eight Korean-looking men barged into the clinic and forcibly took Park.

Doctors and other clinic staffers witnessed Park being carried out of the clinic and pushed inside a gray Starex van with plate number WNT-203 waiting outside.

Another Starex van with plate number WHB-951 was also seen accompanying the van containing Park.

Police are looking into the possibly of a fraternity war involving Park and his fellow students based on their initial investigation.

Park reportedly wanted to leave the fraternity which drew the ire of his fellow students.– Marvin Sy
