MANILA - A brand new chopper bought by the Philippine National Police (PNP) toppled an LED billboard during the PNP Service Anniversary attended by President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday.

The chopper was making a flypast as part of the program when it veered too close to the billboard, causing some sections to collapse.

Nobody was reported injured in the incident but the damaged LED panels could cost the PNP around P3 million to repair.

The PNP is investigating the incident.

The brand new Bell 429 chopper was purchased by the PNP last March.

PNP said it will buy at least four more choppers from France's Airbus Industrie in the coming months.

The PNP earlier admitted its pilots were still getting up to speed with flying the new, modern choppers, after the PNP spent almost a decade without any flying assets.
