A POLICEMAN was run over by a speeding bus at a busy intersection on Edsa, Quezon City, as he was walking back to his patrol car Wednesday night. PO3 Reynaldo Tumala, 52, was declared out of danger though he remained confined for further tests at East Avenue Medical Center at press time. The bus driver, Paulo Botin, ended up in the same hospital after angry bystanders mauled him and pelted him with rocks to prevent his escape. Tumala, a resident of Caloocan City and a member of the Quezon City Police District’s (QCPD) Masambong station, was on patrol at the corner of Edsa and Congressional Avenue in Barangay Magsaysay when hit by an Admiral bus around 9 p.m. The officer sustained cuts in the face and legs and was scheduled Thursday to undergo tests for chest pains. The QCPD’s Traffic Sector 6 said Botin, 34, tried to run away and abandon his bus but was blocked by the bystanders. Julie M. Aurelio
