13-year-old stabbed in attack by fellow minors outside high school in QC

A 13-year-old boy was stabbed and mauled by fellow minors outside Judge Luna High School in Barangay Bungad, Quezon City.

According to Emil Sumangil’s report on “24 Oras”, the victim was immediately rushed to a hospital due to injuries he suffered after being stabbed and hit with a baseball bat.

The incident was caught on CCTV footage.

According to the victim, he was in the area to fetch someone when a group of minors attacked him.

“Kapag baba ko po ng tricycle bigla nila akong binanatan… nakursunadahan lang po” the victim said, adding that he could not think of any reason why he would be mauled.

Two minors, who were allegedly involved in the incident, were arrested by the police and are currently in the custody of QC Police District Baler Station.

They were reportedly 15 and 13, and were alleged members of a fraternity.

“Nung tinuro sila ng victim, na-identify sila. Sila ‘yung mga kasama sa mga nambugbog,” said Masambong Police Station commander Police Lieutenant Colonel Imelda Reyes.

The two minors denied the accusations.

“Ako po ‘yung inabangan sa labas… hindi ako [ang nambugbog],” one minor said.

“Nung nagkahabulan po tinignan ko lang po ‘yun tapos nadamay na po ako,” the other teenager added.

Their parents cried when authorities explained to them that their children would be charged with frustrated homicide.

“Sana bago mangyari ang kaguluhan ay sa level ng magulang, sa loob pa lang ng bahay ay maayos na kanilang pamamalakad at pagdisiplina sa kanilang mga anak,” Reyes said.

Meanwhile, police are still looking for the suspect who stabbed the victim and his other accomplices.

“Ang nanaksak ay na-identify but at large. Mayroon din nag-baseball bat sa kanya at ‘yun ang hindi na-identify dahil at large din,” Reyes said.

The subject of a follow up operation includes a teenager who was seen on CCTV footage holding a knife. —Mel Matthew Doctor/NB, GMA News
