GENERAL SANTOS CITY?Police on Saturday detained a man who was beaten up by onlookers for throwing a beer bottle at the world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao at a party, a police investigator said.
Pacquiao, the International Boxing Federation superbantamweight champion, and his wife, Jinky, were on the dance floor at a private birthday party in this southern city when he was assaulted by a local man, said Senior Police Officer Rodrigo Torrento.
The apparently unprovoked attack prompted angry onlookers to go after the suspect, Reggie Teves, with their bare fists, Torrento told reporters.
Pacquiao was hit by broken bottle shards but was uninjured in the predawn fracas, police said. None of the suspect?s attackers were arrested.
The suspect was apparently drunk, said Doroteo Acedo, a senior police officer.
