The heated altercation turned into a brawl where the three were stabbed.

The players were rushed to St. Luke’s Medical Hospital for treatment. Both Norbert and Thomas reportedly sustained deep cuts in their arms while Teng got hit in the body.

Officers from Police Community Precinct 7 in Bonifacio Global City apprehended the suspects at around 2:30 am.
