At least three people were seriously injured after a brawl erupted over the weekend inside Nening Carmela Videoke Bar in Bacolod city’s Barangay Mansilingan. Police identified the wounded as 24-year-old Mark Solomon, a resident of Bangga Totong in the city’s Barangay Felisa; along with 27-year-old Jonard Romero, a resident of the city’s Barangay Handumanan.
Based on information forwarded by Police Station 7 (PS7), a heated argument erupted between the victims and the suspects, who were identified as Leo Gin Pabalate and Leomar Clemente.
A brawl then ensued, which was only stopped when authorities arrived.
PS7 reported that Solomon sustained a head injury, while Romero was wounded in the chest.
Pabalate, meanwhile, nearly lost an eye in the fight.
Both victims and the one suspect were rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital for treatment but Pabalate was later discharged and subsequently detained at PS7 alongside Clemente.
Both suspects are facing assault charges./DGB, WDJ
