A 15-year-old boy was injured during a reported attack in Iloilo City that involved a group of youngsters.

The incident happened at an intersection in Barangay Buhang Taft North in Mandurriao, Iloilo City at past 4 p.m. on May 24, 2026

Based on investigation by the Iloilo City Police Station, the boy came from work and was on his way home when three other minors allegedly cornered him and tried to stab him.

A video of the incident showed that the boy managed to evade the attack only to fall to the ground. The police said later that he injured his left arm.

When other youngsters came to the boy’s defense, the suspects scrambled away from the scene.

“Nawalan ng balanse, nagkaroon siya ng bali sa kaliwang braso. Nang nakita ng ibang kabataan na kilala ng biktima, tumulong sila. Nakita ng tatlo na marami ang rumesponde, nagtakbuhan sila patawid sa way ng Brgy. Bakhaw,” said Capt. Lester Oliveros, Officer-in-charge of the Iloilo City Police Station 10.

Investigation also showed that the suspects are residents of Barangay Calumpang and Boulevard in Molo and Barangay Calaparan in Arevalo.

They were not at their houses when police visited.

CCTV footage showed that before the brawl erupted, a group of young people gathered by the road. Barangay officials said they may be members of a group.

According to the Iloilo Police Station 10, the incident was isolated.

The suspects were also allegedly involved in a stabbing incident in Barangay Tabucan.

“Actually, ang mga suspek na yan, sila rin ang involved sa stabbing sa Brgy. Tabucan. Pinapayuhan natin ang mga magulang ng biktima na magsampa ng reklamo. Attempted murder siguro,” Oliveros said.
