An Australian national was shot in his thigh after trying to fight off robbers in Quezon City on Monday morning, a report in Pilipino Star Ngayon said.
Authorities identified the victim as Peter William Mckay, 59, who is being treated at a local hospital for the gunshot wound he sustained in the attack.
Investigators suspect that the robbers were already monitoring McKay’s movement before robbing him. The victim went to the bank before the incident took place. He walked along Scout Torillo Street when two armed men pulled out their guns and declared a robbery. When he tried to defend himself, the robbers shot him.
The suspects, who rode a motorcycle to escape, took away P10,000 cash, two wedding rings and a necklace all worth P500,000.
