Three men ganged up on an amateur dancer who was on his way to a dance competition in Caloocan City, according to the police. The victim, identified as Ryan Christian Ari, sustained severe stab wounds and is recuperating at a local hospital. Ari was en route to Barangay Bagong Barrio to join a dance contest. Police are hunting down a certain “Akang Bakod” and two of his companions who were identified as the victim’s attackers. Witnesses told police that the attackers were out to keep outsiders like Ari from winning the dance contest. This seems to be a page right out of Step Up or even West Side Story.
