A man identified by police as being drunk began stabbing people in a crowd in Caloocan City, sending a number of people to area hospitals. One person who was stabbed by the knife-wielding man was identified as dzBB (594AM) "Super Radio" Manila programming coordinator Edwin Ramos, who died from his injuries. Manila's Inquirer newspaper reports Ramos was trying to pacify the attacker, who threatened to kill "everyone in sight" and had already stabbed one person before Ramos attempted to intervene, in order to protect his fiancee's brother. Making matters worse, the Inquirer reports that Ramos, despite being stabbed in the abdomen was refused admittance to Tondo General Hospital "because their operating rooms were supposedly full." Ramos was then transported by bicycle to another hospital since no ambulances were available. He was pronounced dead at the second hospital. Ramos, who was engaged to be married, was 47.
