VIRAL: Passenger snatches LRT guard’s gun

A passenger who was caught on video assaulting and forcibly taking the gun of an LRT security guard was arrested by the Manila Police District.

The man identified as Ryan Gemilan was charged by the police with alarm and scandal after causing tension in Pedro Gil Station along Taft Avenue.

In the video, a security guard is seen picking up his gun when the drunk man comes in with a metal rod, posing to hit the guard. A civilian snatches the rod away but the man continues the assault and tries to seize the gun until they roll over the stairs in a rumble.

After a while, other guards and civilians mediate and restrain the man. They successfully unhand the weapon from Gamelan while he resists the arrest.

According to the police, the argument aroused from the security guard forbidding Gemilan entry to the train because it is prohibited to grant transport to passengers under the influence of alcohol.

Gemilan, a tattoo artist and a resident of Bel-Air Makati, is already under the custody of the police, reported Philstar.
