After the incident, the other rider, who was an employee of the city hall, tried to escape.

The city hall employee then got off his motorcycle, and he struck Lumungsod with an unknown object, which the latter believed to be a steel pipe.
“Kung nahubo pa naku ang helmet aw bukol or samad jud ako ulo kay puthaw mn to…abi sad sa ako asawa og screw driver nga taas,” Lumungsod said on his Facebook post.
(If I had removed my helmet, I would have a bruise or worse a cut on my head because it was a steel pipe…my wife thought that it was a long screw driver.)
