Immigration bureau studying actions vs. Chinese who splashed cop with taho

The Bureau of Immigration on Saturday said it would be looking into possible actions to be taken against a Chinese national who splashed  a police officer with a cup of "taho" after she was barred from entering the Metro Rail Transit-Boni Station.

"We will be coordinating with the [Department of Transportation] and the [National Capital Region Police Office] for details about the case and will study possible actions against said foreigner," said Immigration spokesperson Dana Sandoval.

At about 8:30 a.m., Chinese woman Jiale Zhang, 23, a student residing in Mandaluyong City, threw a cup of 'taho' to Police Officer 1 William Cristobal who stopped her from entering the station.

MRT authorities said Zhang entered the baggage inspection area, but security personnel asked her to consume first the taho in her bag before she would be allowed in. But she refused to do so.

Security personnel called PO1 Cristobal to explain to the student the policy on liquid substances inside the station. In a fit of anger, Zhang splashed the cup of taho at the officer.

Authorities immediately escorted Zhang to the Shaw Boulevard Police Station. She was arrested for direct assault, disobedience to an agent or person of authority, and unjust vexation. — MDM, GMA News
