CEBU, Philippines – A vendor landed at the Cebu City Medical Center after he was stabbed with a steel rod at around 8:30 the other night at Gotianoy St. Brgy. Camputhaw, Cebu City.
The victim was identified as Jerwin Lapas, 33, a resident of Dignos Compound Brgy. Lahug, Cebu City.
He was stabbed by a dispatcher known as Arvie Miano.
Lapas was with his friend selling food in a stall along the sidewalk, locally called "pungko-pungko," when Miano suddenly arrived and without apparent reason stabbed his back with a steel rod.
SPO4 Alex Dacua said they learned that the two had a grudge against each other.
This is because Lapas was accused by Miano of destroying Miano's pedal-powered tricycle, locally known as trisikad.
Homicide Section of Cebu City Police Office is conducting an operation to arrest the suspect. (FREEMAN)
