A 26-year-old man was stabbed on the arm Sunday by a drunk suspect who, along with his brother, raised a ruckus during an afternoon gathering in their aunt\u2019s house in Susupe, police said.<\/p>\n
Public Safety spokesperson Lt. Pete C. Mu\u00f1a said the victim, John P. Aquino, received the blow after he refused to fight with suspect, 20-year-old Dean Sanchez Santos, who had challenged Aquino for a duel.<\/p>\n
It was his brother, John Sanchez Santos, 25, who allegedly stabbed Aquino on his left biceps using a knife, according to Mu\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
Both suspects, who were reportedly intoxicated with alcohol, hurriedly left the scene after the stabbing only to come back a few minutes later to throw rocks at their aunt\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
Aquino told police that his family members tried to stop the suspects from further causing a disturbance but to no avail.<\/p>\n
Santos and Sanchez allegedly ran toward the church and continued to throw rocks at the residence until police officers arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n
The pair attempted to flee the area but authorities eventually caught up with them.<\/p>\n
Police officers had a trying time subduing the suspects, who were resisting arrest, Mu\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n
Sanchez allegedly pushed police officer Vicente Babauta and tried to carry the latter on his back until both of them fell to the ground.<\/p>\n
The older suspect also kicked Babauta on the thigh and continued to yell at him, police reported.<\/p>\n
Santos, for his part, also fought with another police officer in a bid to stop authorities from arresting his brother.<\/p>\n
But the police officers were finally able to subdue the belligerent pair. Both were apprehended on grounds of assault with a dangerous weapon, disturbing the peace, assault and battery and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
