Patient robs, molests dentist in QC

MANILA, Philippines - Instead of paying for a tooth filling procedure, a patient robbed and molested a 44-year-old dentist in Quezon City Monday afternoon.

Police said the still unidentified walk-in patient was said to be in his 30s, and armed with a handgun and two bundles of plastic string and a roll of cellophane tape he used to hogtie the dentist and her female assistant in her clinic along Anonas Road.

The man robbed the dentist of P20,000, checks, cell phones, and jewelry. He then started fondling the dentist and masturbating while “uttering sexual words,” police said. The man only stopped and left the clinic when the dentist’s cell phone began ringing.

Police said they were trying to get clues on the identity of the suspect since the clinic did not have a surveillance camera.
