Kapamilya star Awra Briguela was arrested Thursday morning following a brawl that took place outside a bar in Barangay Poblacion, Makati City, a source at the Makati Police said.
In a phone interview, the police investigator who requested anonymity said that Briguela, whose real name is Mcneal Briguela, remained in detention after figuring in a fistfight with a group of people, which was caught on video and then uploaded on social media by netizens.
The police has declined to give further details on the incident, but said that charges have been filed against Briguela.
One video of the incident was uploaded by a certain @limetedryuu on Instagram, but the latter seemed to have already deactivated their account, but their video which has since been re-uploaded on social media showed authorities entering the scene and cornered Briguela. The 19-year-old actor-comedian was then handcuffed and hauled off to the police station.
Sana makulong din yung nanghipo sa kaibigang pinagtanggol ni Awra.
