MANILA, Philippines — A drunk man was arrested after leading police on a car chase when they tried to apprehend him for allegedly causing trouble in a restaurant in Quezon City yesterday.
Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III, Quezon City Police District director, said Wealthon Ngo, 56, allegedly showed up at Pares Retiro in Barangay Paang Bundok at around 1:30 a.m. and shouted at a waitress to take his order, then threw a bottle of soy sauce at her when told to wait his turn.
Ngo left but returned after a few minutes and demanded that the waitress attend to him. The other customers got irked at Ngo, but instead of calming down, the suspect challenged everyone to a fistfight.
Police officers tried to arrest Ngo, but he sped off in a Toyota Camry toward Blumentritt Extension. He was caught along A. Bonifacio Avenue after a brief chase.
The suspect is being held on charges of resistance and disobedience to persons in authority, alarm and scandal and light threats.
