(Updated 6:08 p.m.) Nearly 12 hours after going down a drunken warpath, former basketball star Paul Alvarez on Tuesday afternoon left his Mandaluyong police prison cell after posting a P4,500-bail.

Radio station dzBB reported that Judge Lizabeth Torres of the Metropolitan trial court-Branch 60 approved the bail petition on charges of physical injuries.

Alvarez was charged with two counts of libel and slapped a P2,000 fee for each. He was fined an additional P500 bond fee.

Alvarez underwent police interrogation on charges of mauling a taxi driver. He was also accused of attacking ABS-CBN reporter Gretchen Malalad as she was trying to interview the driver.

He was earlier reported to be facing charges of resisting arrest.

Malalad, a contestant of the Binibining Pilipinas beauty pageant in 2002, was setting up an interview with driver Wilfredo Cabanlit at the police precinct when Alvarez suddenly attacked her, radio station dzBB reported Tuesday.

With Southeast Asian Games gold medals in karate to her name, Malalad blocked Alvarez's punches even as the former cager grabbed the reporter's hair. Some reports said Alvarez also threw an elbow to Malalad's face.

The radio report added that Alvarez even threatened to beat up the cameraman of the television station.

He eventually locked himself up in the police station's comfort room to avoid reporters.

The report said that Malalad, a self-confessed fan of the former player, was disappointed with the player's actions and added that she will be filing charges of serious physical injuries.

Alvarez was apprehended by the police after mauling a taxi driver whom he accused of jacking up his fare while on their way to Pasig City.

The driver sustained wounds to the forehead after Alvarez smashed a beer bottle in his face. - GMANews.TV
