Tarek Naggar from East Dunbartonshire reportedly on life support after shooting during robbery in Cebu City
A British man in the Philippines has been shot two days before his wedding.
Tarek Naggar, 44, was reported to be critically injured and in intensive care after being attacked during a robbery on the island of Cebu.
Naggar, from Milngavie in East Dunbartonshire and recently living in Sweden, was gunned down while sitting outside a bar with his fiancee Angie and best man Chris McLaughlin in the island’s capital, Cebu City, in the early hours of Thursday, according to the Sunday Herald.
Three men on a motor scooter were said to have pulled up and demanded that the Scot hand over his wallet. When he refused, one pulled out a pistol and shot him in the chest.
They also reportedly made off with the wallet, including credit cards and the local money he was carrying, equivalent to less than £10.
McLaughlin told the Sunday Herald that Naggar, who was due to get married on Saturday, received surgery and was put on a life-support machine after the bullet lodged in his lung.
The Foreign Office has been in touch with his next of kin and authorities in the area.
