A traffic enforcer of the Makati City government was critically injured after being run over by a taxi which refused to be flagged down.
The incident took place at around 1:30 p.m. yesterday at the corner of Jupiter Street and Makati Avenue, Barangay Bel-Air.
PO2 Lauro Ilagan identified the victim as Juanito Baral, a member of the Makati Department of Public Safety (formerly Mapsa).
Investigation revealed that the suspect Felipe Besama, 54, a resident of Dasmariñas, Cavite, was being flagged down by Baral for a traffic violation.
Instead of pulling over, the suspect ran over Baral before speeding off toward Manila.
Baral was immediately taken to the Makati Medical Center where he was placed in critical condition.
One of Barals companions got on his motorcycle and gave chase to the suspect. The pursuit ended in Manila, where the suspect was caught in traffic.
He was brought to the Makati police headquarters, where he is currently detained. Marvin Sy
