MANILA, Philippines — An Irish was arrested in Makati City for failure to settle his bill and physical assault at a bar in Poblacion, according to the Southern Police District (SPD).

In a report on Thursday, SPD officials identified the 30-year-old foreigner as Fitzgibbon Adam, who went on a drinking spree and refused to pay his bill amounting to P23,479.

Based on the statement of the bar’s bouncer, the SPD said the management of the bar and the unidentified victim confronted Adam regarding his bill, which resulted in a heated argument and assault.
