MANILA - A Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) foreman accused of drunk driving was arrested after evading authorities in Tondo, Manila.
DPWH foreman Sandy Ubungin was driving home after a drinking session with fellow engineers.
As he drove, he accidentally hit a tricycle driver, wounding the latter on his arm.
Barangay officials then called the police's attention.
Policemen stationed at a checkpoint in Escolta asked Ubungin to stop, but the latter ignored them.
Poilcemen chased Ubungin for about ten minutes, until they cornered him at a dead end along Guerrero Street, Binondo.
During the chase, Ubungin damaged an Innova and a number of motorcycles and carts.
Ubungin is now detained in Manila Police District Station 10. He said he did not stop as he did not recognize the authorities.
Police likewise noted that Ubungin’s car had a broken window and bullet marks. Police, however, said no shots were fired at the suspect's car. —report from Francis Faulve, ABS-CBN News
