Watch: Student is beaten by two suspects in broad daylight

 

The victim was identified by Unang Balita on GMA as 23-year old Paolo Reyes. Report says he was with an old high school batchmate named Lyka Manlasing and her friend, Pia Gloria. The three were inside the vehicle when all of a sudden, a man identified as Benedict Montoya opened the passenger door and allegedly hit Reyes.

Montoya was reported to be wearing brass knuckles- a guard made out of metal that is worn on the hand to create a stronger blow. In the midst of all of this, the two women fled from the scene.

Reyes struggled to open the nearest door to him while being beaten. Another suspect identified as Alexis Dolotina, suddenly came up around him and started hitting him as well.

In the video, the victim is seen being pounced as he kneels and attempts to block the punches from his two alleged aggressors. When he finally escaped to his car, Reyes sped off while the two ran off.

Reyes is now being treated in the hospital. Relatives believe that jealousy could be a possible motive for the attack. Charges will be filed against the two women and the suspects, they said.
