The alleged robber, Ramil Mabalhin, was also wounded.

Mabalhin was arrested by police at the Mandaue City Hospital where he went to have his wounds treated.

Millor found a chance to grapple for the knife.

Millor overpowered Mabalhin and stabbed him in the body.

Mabalhin ran out of the shop bringing three units of cellphone.
