Only a few minutes after undergoing a police interrogation on charges of mauling a taxi driver, former basketball star Paul Alvarez attacked a female television reporter as she was trying to interview the alleged victim.

Alvarez now faces a different "three-on-one situation" from his high-flying, slam-dunking hard court days.

Aside from charges of physical injury from a taxi driver, Alvarez faces charges from Mandaluyong police for resisting arrest and from ABS-CBN reporter Gretchen Malalad for allegedly injuring her.

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.

As of this posting, the former basketball player is still detained at the Mandaluyong police headquarters. - GMANews.TV
