A suspect has been named in an assault case involving a teenager on the Jagorawi toll road in East Jakarta.

The man, identified as MA, reportedly admitted to hitting 14-year-old RA, one of the passengers of a car that suddenly stopped in front of his own on Wednesday.

“[MA has been named] a suspect,” Jakarta Police general crimes director Nico Afinta said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.

Police denied MA was driving a military car during the incident. “We have identified [the car]. That is not a military registered plate. It is a general public plate number,” Jakarta road patrol unit head Adj. Sr. Comr. Slamet Widodo said.

Reza Achmad, RA’s brother, posted a video on social media showing his brother’s bloody nose as well as the alleged perpetrator’s face and license plate of the latter’s car, which shows a military sticker.

The incident occurred when Reza, with his mother and brother, were driving along the Jagorawi toll road from Bogor in West Java to Jakarta when the car in front of him made a sudden stop. Reza and the driver of a Chevrolet Captiva behind him hit their brakes to avoid a collision.  

The Chevrolet’s driver, MA, blocked Reza’s car and ordered the latter to get out of the car. MA choked Reza, while scolding him for slamming his brakes. He also proceeded to beat Reza’s brother, RA. (stu/gis)

A householder allegedly beat and shaved the head of his former maid, identified only as MG, in Bogor, West Java, after accusing her of stealing Rp 1.5 million (US$102). 

Bogor Police criminal investigation unit head Adj. Comr. Benny Cahyadi said the police arrested the former employer, identified only as EA, on Wednesday on Jl. Raya Parung.

“EA had reported the theft to the police, but [his accusation] could not be proven,” Benny said as quoted by tempo.co.

EA then hunted down MG to a garment factory in Parungpanjang, where the latter now worked, and beat and shaved her head. Later MG was forcibly taken to EA’s house in Jakarta.

MG was finally released after her family picked her up and reported the incident to the Bogor Police.

MG told the police that after two months working with EA, she could not bear working for him anymore because he often harassed her.

MG quit and later got the job at the garment factory. (stu)
