The policeman in Binondo, Manila, was off duty. And still he acts like a policeman, a really good one. See the video below…

Despite being outnumbered, Police officer 2 Jomel Caronan, of Parañaque City-Police Community Precinct 7, was able to wound Nolito Garaes and arrested Larion Milan, 29.

The MPD identified the messenger as Santiago Dangan, 50, of Savory Restaurant.

The third suspect, whom police identified as a certain Noel Jimenez, was able to escape from the incident.

Reports reaching the Manila Police District (MPD) headquarters showed that the botched heist took place a few meters away from the restaurant at Plaza Cervantes in Binondo Manila, at 10:30 a.m.

Dangan was reportedly walking towards PBCom Bank to deposit the earnings of the restaurant worth P500,000 when the three suspected robbers went toward him and held him at gunpoint before declaring the heist.

One of the suspects was about to shoot Dangan after taking the money from him but the victim was able to slip past the robbers and run aimlessly while shouting for help.

Caronan, who was passing by the area and was on his way to work, happened to hear the plea of Dangan and he immediately came to the victim’s aid.

The police officer reportedly shot it out with the three suspects and, despite being outnumbered, successfully hit Garaes on the body and arrest Milan.

The third suspect, however, was able to escape the pursuing Caronan on-board a plate-less motorcycle.

Reports said that Garaes is now being treated at the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center while Milan is now detained at the MPD-Station 11.

Authorities are set to file robbery charges against the two arrested robbers.

You might think whatever you want about the PNP, but this cop did very well. Do you think he deserves to be promoted?
