MANILA, Philippines — A Rizal province police officer was temporarily relieved from his post and placed under restrictive custody for arresting a senior citizen after a road crash in Taguig City.

The senior citizen and police officer earlier figured in a vehicular accident.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Rizal Provincial Police Office assured that it was conducting an investigation into the implicated police officer, whom it did not immediately name.

“As a quick course of action, the said personnel was temporarily relieved from his unit and placed under restrictive custody while the incident is being properly verified and reviewed,” the provincial police said.
