It was cough at first sight.
A Saudi national has been arrested after punching a Filipina inside a Pasay City casino on Tue, May 17. The Saudi national is said to be a businessman who is temporarily residing in Salcedo Village, Makati City.
The woman told ABS-CBN News that she was quietly eating at the slot machine area of the casino at around 4pm when the Saudi national came along. The man was coughing and, apprently, he unintentionally showered the woman with this saliva. So the woman reprimanded him.
He, however, did not take it well and they got into a heated argument.
A security guard intervened and tried to get them to calm down, but the Saudi national ended up punching the Filipina in her left eye.
The two parties were later brought to the Police Community Precinct in Barangay 183, Pasay City. The Saudi national tried to ask the Filipina to forgive him and offered a settlement but she is determined to file assault charges against him.
The Filipina has a strong case against the Saudi national, as several casino employees revealed that the Saudi national has been known to start fights whenever he is at the casino.
