A mother and her son were injured after a 22-year-old man allegedly attacked them with a machete inside their home in Barangay Paril, Cebu City.

According to a report aired on GMA News Unang Balita on Wednesday, the incident stemmed from a confrontation at a dance gathering where the suspect was allegedly causing trouble.

Police investigators said the suspect was reprimanded by the father of the victims after he reportedly disrupted the event. He was eventually told to leave the gathering.

Authorities are looking into the possibility that the suspect later took his anger out on the family. The mother and her son were reportedly asleep inside their home when the alleged attack occurred.

The victims sustained injuries in the incident and were brought to a hospital for treatment. Their condition was not immediately detailed in the report, but they were said to be recovering while authorities pursued the case against the suspect.

Police later arrested the man and recovered the machete believed to have been used in the attack.

Despite the evidence recovered by authorities, the suspect denied committing the crime.

The suspect is now facing a complaint for frustrated murder in connection with the attack. The case will proceed as authorities continue to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine the appropriate charges based on the evidence gathered.

The incident has also raised concern among residents, particularly because the alleged attack happened inside the victims' home after an earlier confrontation at a public gathering.

Authorities are expected to rely on witness accounts, the recovered weapon, and other evidence as the investigation continues. Meanwhile, the injured mother and son remain under medical care as they recover from the injuries sustained during the alleged machete attack.
