A very disturbing video showing
several guards of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) beating up two foreigners is
currently going viral on the web, reports Kicker Daily.
According to RachFeed, the incident
happened on September 27 at around 5 p.m. at the corner of 5th & 30th
Avenue, Bonifacio Global City.
Initial investigation revealed that
the two British nationals, identified as Sam Reynolds and Christopher Edwards,
were skateboarding on 28th Street when a lady guard accosted them.
The two foreigners allegedly insulted
the lady guard, though a separate account on Astig PH alleged they were merely
telling the guard that a policewoman said they could skate at the park. An
altercation between them ensued.
According to a statement by the lady
guard, she was shoved by one of the foreigners. She then called for back-up. A
male guard who responded tried to confiscate the skateboard but was allegedly
punched by one of the Britons.
The mauling happened after more
guards came to the scene.
One of the Britons, Sam Reynolds, was
confined at St. Luke’s Medical center while his friend Christopher Edwards was
at a Taguig police station. Edwards is now out after paying bail but was incarcerated
for 4 days.
The BGC filed charges of malicious
mischief and slight physical injury against Reynolds and Edwards. The Britons
are planning to file counter-charges.
The Bonifacio Estate Services
Corporation has issued a statement regarding the incident on Facebook:
Regarding the video showing the
incident involving BGC’s Marshals:
We have
reviewed the video and it indicates that certain members of our security
personnel resorted to inappropriate behavior and we are currently conducting a
full investigation of this incident.
Meanwhile,
we also filed formal charges against the two foreigners who had hit and hurt
our lady marshal and another male marshal when their attention was called to
certain violations of BGC’s community rules, and before their apprehension was
captured in the video.
