QCPD to file cases vs protesters after clash injured 8 cops

The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) will file criminal cases against some members of progressive organizations for a protest outside the House of Representatives.

The protest, which condemned alleged anomalies in flood control projects, resulted in injuries to seven to eight police officers.

QCPD officer-in-charge Col. Randy Glenn Silvio stated that Police Station 6 is preparing complaints for alarm and scandal, and violation of Batas Pambansa 880 (Public Assembly Act of 1985).

One police non-commissioned officer (PNCO) and the battalion commander sustained head injuries, while others had minor scratches.

The QCPD is waiting for the organizers to provide the identities of the individuals involved, particularly those from Southern Tagalog.

The demonstration, attended by around 300 individuals, was noted to have lacked a permit and caused traffic obstruction.
