The injured foreigner was rushed to a hospital for treatment and eventually survived the attack. Authorities did not immediately disclose the extent of his injuries.
The victim’s partner later recounted what allegedly happened before the stabbing. She said the suspect initially approached the American and asked for P10.
The man also allegedly asked the foreigner if he needed “protection” as long as he would pay for it.
According to the woman, the victim was unable to hand over money immediately because he did not have cash at that time.
Police authorities are continuing their pursuit operations against the suspect. Investigators are also waiting for the victim to formally file a complaint after he reportedly proceeded to his intended destination following the incident.
