A video caught on CCTV shows the victim struggling on the floor during the day right outside a luxury hotel at 11:40 am of March 29.
It also showed that the hotel’s doorman did not even attempt to help the victim who was gravey injured and had to be taken to the hospital to get treatment.
Netizens were shocked, horrified, and furious especially when they saw that the men inside the building did not even bother to help the elderly Filipina woman.
