Place where alleged offense happened |
A Filipino who was out on bail for allegedly assaulting a local man in Central, was remanded in jail today after he failed to show up at his hearing at Eastern Court, and was ordered arrested by Principal Magistrate Don So.
J. Dagohoy, 37 years old, surrendered to the court later in
the day, resulting in the warrant for his arrest being cancelled.
His original bail of $500, however, was forfeited.

He is scheduled to appear again tomorrow (July 25), for a chance to
ask to be allowed to post bail again.
As Dagohoy has pleaded not guilty, his trial is scheduled
for September 3.
The case arose from a confrontation he allegedly had with Cheung Chung-yiu in front of the Bangkok Bank Bldg., on Des Voeux Road, Central, last March 9.
