Despite this, the pickup tried to escape again, almost hitting the motorcycle with the boy still there.
When the father approached the driver’s side to confront him, the driver sped off and escaped toward Roxas Boulevard going to Manila.
The rider went straight to a nearby police station to report the incident.
Police have already contacted the Land Transportation Office to trace the vehicle owner.
According to Police Captain Alvin Bagay, Chief of the Vehicular Traffic Investigation Section of Pasay CPS, they are still verifying if the plate number indeed belongs to a diplomat and have started backtracking footage along Roxas Boulevard to find where the pickup went.
Authorities said the driver may face multiple charges, including reckless driving and violation of RA 4136 or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.
Police will also request the suspension of the driver’s license from the LTO.
