BACOLOD CITY – A 45-year-old man was wounded after resisting arrest during a carnapping incident in Barangay Salong, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, on Saturday.
Police Capt. Sammy Gasataya, deputy chief of the Kabankalan City Police Station, said the suspect allegedly stole a parked motorcycle in the area.
When police arrived, they approached the suspect, but he allegedly drew a bladed weapon and attacked one of the officers.
