A 25-year-old construction worker was injured after he was allegedly stabbed multiple times by his father in Murcia, Negros Occidental late Tuesday night, May 12.
Police identified the suspect as alias “Vic,” 51, a sugarcane worker and resident of Brgy. Sta. Rosa.

Neighbors and relatives later pacified the father.
The victim was rushed to the Murcia Health Center and was later referred to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City for further treatment.
The Murcia police arrested the suspect in a pursuit operation and recovered the bolo allegedly used in the incident.
