A murder suspect on Monday evening managed to grab the firearm of his arresting officer, point the gun at the officer's head and pull the trigger. When the weapon failed to fire, authorities say alleged murderer Alberto de Asis Jr. proceeded to beat officer Fernando Carlos of the Pasay City Police Department with the pistol.

The incident, which took place at a police station in Manila, was quickly ended after Carlos' partner, Police Officer Jonathan Moreno arrived and subdued de Asis.
