The video of the incident had 10 million views on Facebook before it was taken down earlier today.

According to Doctor, Interior took out a golf club, yelled at him to come out of the car, and slapped him in the ear as he opened the door. After the slap, Doctor is seen in the video getting out of the vehicle holding his face because he got dizzy.

Interior and a man she was with at the time of the incident were allegedly angry that Doctor honked at and overtook them while they were on Congressional Avenue in Quezon City.

Doctor has already coordinated with both the Land Transportation and Franchising Board and the local police regarding this incident. Interior has yet to surface or surrender herself to the authorities.
