Syrian seized for biting GRO in Makati City bar

MANILA, Philippines - A Syrian found himself in hot water for allegedly biting a guest relations officer (GRO) in a bar in Makati City, a radio report said early Thursday.

Radio dzBB's Roland Bola reported that the Syrian, initially identified as Hisam Barmini, 38, ruined the victim's first day on the job with his act.

The incident occurred at a bar at P. Burgos Street in Poblacion village in Makati City.

Initial investigation showed the girl was summoned to the Syrian's table, but barely had she started chatting with him when he started kissing and touching her in different parts of the body.

Not satisfied, he started biting her in the neck and back, causing bruises and cuts. The pain prompted the girl to report to management, who in turn called police. - GMANews.TV
