Game 5
Streaking incident
A man dressed in a Spider-Man costume was brought to jail after streaking during the fourth quarter. The man identified as Paolo Felizarta stormed the court holding a placard with "Vote! Love!" written on it with three minutes left in the game and accidentally hit San Miguel star center June Mar Fajardo on his right jaw. Fajardo fell down on the floor in pain as Felizarta was apprehended by security personnel at the venue. Felizarta was brought and detained at the Station 7 of the Quezon City Police District. There were two other men who were caught in the scene, namely Rayahn Paredes and Flenn John Lola. Lola was assumed to be Felizarta's accomplice while Paredes, who was sitting on the stands behind the basket, was caught punching Lola as he was ushered out of the court. Police said Lola and Paredes settled their dispute at a nearby barangay hall. [2]
