CAMP QUIRINO, Ilocos Sur- A 48-year-old woman went berserk, mauled and bit barangay officials the other who tried to arrest her in barangay Padu Grande, Sto Domingo town.

Police report reaching PNP headquarters here showed the suspect identified as Virginia Castro, 48 of Padu Grande, was creating trouble for unknown reason in their barangay prompting her neighbors to call for help.

Padu Grande barangay officials Mark Joseph Tabios, Armando Tabios and Georgette Binan, responded and tried to arrest the suspect. 

But the suspect resisted, boxed Tabios hitting him in his left chin.

The two other officers tried to pacify the suspect but she bit them in the hands.

The woman then uttered defamatory words to barangay officials, saying "wala kang silbing kagawad."

As the three were no match to the woman, they called up reinforcement from the PNP station, until policemen arrived and subdued her.

Responding police brought the suspect and barangay officials to Magsingal District Hospital, for medico legal examination and subsequently brought the suspect to Sto Domingo police station for investigation.

The woman is facing cases for physical injuries and direct assault upon persons in authority.
