An explosion rocked Thursday night a slum village when an unidentified man tossed a fragmentation grenade at the residence of a former barangay official, the police reported.
No one was killed or injured in the attack but the corrugated roof sheets on the residence of former Sta. Barbara Barangay Chairman Harun Dimarunsing were partially damaged.
Two vehicles, an Isuzu Crosswind and a Toyota Lancer, owned by the Dimarunsing family were also damaged in the explosion that took place around 11 p.m. Thursday, the police said.
Josua Annan, 19, a "sikad-sikad" driver, told the police that the grenade thrower was his passenger who he picked up at the interior portion of Barangay Sta. Barbara after he fetched another passenger.
However, the police said Annan failed to recognize his passenger who ordered him to proceed to the highway, since the suspect was wearing bonnet and jacket.
The suspect was described as five feet and five inches in height, with fair complexion, thin and sporting short hair.
Investigation showed that the suspect, while on the way to the highway, ordered Annan to stop some 20 meters away from Dimarunsing's residence.
