Police Confirm Viral Street Fight Involving Elderly Man & LGBTQ Individuals in Makati
Makati City Police Station confirmed the viral street fight involving an elderly man and LGBTQ members outside a convenience store in Barangay Poblacion.
According to the Makati City Police Station, the incident happened at around 5 a.m. on Saturday (September 12, 2026), along Villena Street. The video quickly spread on social media and garnered reactions from netizens who were curious about what led to the confrontation.
Based on the police investigation, the incident reportedly began when several individuals approached a minor who was eating at the convenience store. Authorities said the group allegedly offered the teenager a sexual favor, but the minor declined.
The commotion reportedly continued as the individuals allegedly persisted despite the rejection. The incident later escalated when the minor returned with his grandfather to confront those involved.
The simple verbal disagreement eventually turned into a physical confrontation outside the establishment. Witnesses, including a security guard and a parking attendant, said the argument became more intense before the situation was eventually brought under control.

Despite the altercation, the grandfather and his grandson reportedly decided not to file a formal complaint against the individuals involved. Instead, they chose to settle the matter privately.
The incident has sparked discussions online about public behavior, conflict resolution, and the importance of handling disagreements calmly. The authorities reminded the public that investigations are necessary to establish the facts behind viral incidents.
As of this writing, no formal charges have been filed, and the matter has reportedly been resolved between the parties involved.
