It’s not much, but at least it’s one rotten cabbie off the streets this holiday season.
“The Eastern Police District (EPD) has once again warned people to be careful when riding in cabs after a taxi driver was arrested for trying to drug a passenger on Thursday night,” reports Nathaniel Melican of Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The victim, Micah Crystel Sual, 18, was riding a Tricon taxi (license plate TWJ 743) on Thursday night when she noticed a strange smell inside the cab while passing through Amang Rodriguez Avenue in Pasig City.
Moments later, she began to feel numb and dizzy so she asked the driver, Dominador Obsenarez, to pull to the side. Instead of stopping, the driver pulled her into the taxi when she tried to force her way out.
Fortunately, alert barangay kagawads on patrol saw what was happening and rushed to the victim’s aid.
Police recovered a bottle of the substance which it sent to its crime laboratory for analysis.
