MANILA, Philippines - A suspected robber, who reportedly preys on taxi drivers, was arrested when his would-be victim fought back in Caloocan City Saturday night.

Taxi driver Edgardo Bersamira, 42, told police Danilo Rescar, 27, hailed his cab along T.M. Kalaw in Manila at past 10 p.m. and asked to be brought to Caloocan City.

As Bersamira drove along A. Mabini street in Caloocan, Rescar pulled out a fan knife and demanded that the driver hand over his money.

Bersamina grappled with Rescar and the commotion caught the eye of traffic enforcers manning the street.

Rescar was arrested and charged with robbery.
