Pasay police sue laborer over suicide attempt

Criminal charges were filed Saturday against a worker who tried to jump from a building under construction in Pasay City on Friday night. Chief Insp. Eric Angustia, officer in charge of the police investigation unit, said that charges of alarm and scandal were filed against Melvin Mujeres, 23, in the Pasay City Prosecutor’s Office. Mujeres was rescued by authorities at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, almost 10 hours after he climbed up a building on Roxas Boulevard corner San Juan Street. Mujeres, a native of Cawayan, Masbate, told the police that he wanted to kill himself due to financial problems. Kristine Felisse Mangunay
