Achondo went to East Avenue to get treatment for his wounds from a motorcycle accident.
The victim, identified as Dr. Russel Carandang, was walking toward the suspect inside the emergency room when the latter grabbed the victim by the neck while holding a syringe.
Policemen inside the hospital pleaded with Achondo, who eventually released Carandang after a few minutes without making any demand.
