Later in the afternoon he went to bank to collecting the payroll for the workers. When he arrived at the worksite and stepped out of his car he was attacked by the same suspicious man he had seen earlier during the day.
This suspect threatened him with a handgun and demanded him to hand over the money he had in his possession.
