Zhang, a 23-year-old fashion design student, was arrested over the weekend after she "suddenly threw" her cup of taho at Cristobal because she was prevented from entering the platform area of the MRT Boni station because of her unconsumed beverage.

The incident, which has gone viral, has drawn calls for the woman's deportation, as netizens fumed at the disrespectful act against the officer.
