The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has filed criminal charges against a motorcycle rider seen in a viral video violently dragging a woman along the southbound lane of EDSA, in front of China Bank in Barangay Philam Homes, Quezon City, around 7:30 AM on April 20, 2025.
According to a report submitted to Police Colonel Randy Glenn Silvio, QCPD Deputy Director for Administration and Officer-in-Charge, the victim is a 25-year-old student and resident of Barangay Santol Purok 2, Silang, Cavite.
