Allegedly, an officer also pointed a gun at a 14-year-old boy who was, at that time, just trying to stop the commotion going on.
According to the Regional Police Office, the complainants were uncontrollably rowdy when they stepped inside the police station.
An immediate investigation has already been ordered by PBGEN. Lou Evangelista, Regional Director PRO 1.
They promise to punish their officers once proven that they violated the law.
Meanwhile, in a lengthy Facebook post, the stepdaughter of the assaulted man and mother of the 14-year-old boy wrote.
"How come that the so-called “Protector and Peace Regulator” are the ones who practice violence against those who seek help?
Last March 29, my stepfather was brutally attacked. They went to report the incident at the Pasuquin PNP Office to file a complaint and seek justice. However, instead of getting the justice they sought, they were met with further violence.
Instead of listening to their concerns, the police attacked them out of nowhere. They began kicking my stepfather, who has already sustained injuries from the earlier attack. Not only that, but they also attacked those trying to intervene. What's more disappointing is that they pointed a gun at a minor who was simply trying to tell his father not to fight back.
Afterward, they detained their companions, including a 14-year-old minor, without a valid reason or warrant.
How can we seek justice if the people in power abuse their power in this way?
We share this as a warning and a call for justice. They sought help from the police, but were treated like criminals. A gun was pointed at a child. A man was attacked for simply requesting a blotter report. And an innocent bystander was beaten. This abuse of power must not go unpunished."

Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspect even grabbed a bag and mobile phone from the suspects. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
