Fighting Cock Kills Police Chief In Philippine Raid
A
Philippine police officer was killed during a raid on an illegal cock- fight after a roost- er's blade sliced his femoral artery, an official said Tuesday.
Cockfighting is a popular blood sport in the archi- pelago where money is bet on the outcome of a fight -- often to the death -- between two colourful birds armed with blad- ed spurs.
It has been banned along with other sport- ing and cultural events during the coronavirus pan-
demic
to prevent large crowds from gathering and spreading the contagion.
Monday's freak accident in the central province of Northern Samar happened when Lieutenant Christian Bolok picked up a fight- ing cock as he gathered evi- dence of the unlawful event.
Its blade struck his left thigh and he bled to death, provincial police chief Colonel Arnel Apud told AFP.
"It was an unfor- tunate accident
and
a piece of bad luck that I cannot explain," Apud said.
"I could not believe it when it was first reported to me. This is the first time in my 25 years as a police- man that I lost a man due to a fighting cock's spur."
Three people were arrested and two fighting cocks seized along with two sets of spurs in the raid in San Jose town where Bolok was the police chief, Apud added.
