MAJALENGKA - Majalengka Resort Police (Polres), West Java, named four people as suspects in the assault case against a police officer when they dispersed a motorcycle gang convoy carrying sharp weapons.

"Today we have named four people as suspects. Two adults and two others are still minors," said Majalengka Police Chief, AKBP Willy Andrian in Majalengka, Antara, Monday, July 14.

The incident occurred on Saturday, July 12, at around 02.00 WIB. The police received reports from residents about the movement of a group of sharp armed motorcycle gangs from Jatiwangi to the Ligung area, Majalengka.

According to Willy, the motorcycle gang allegedly wanted to fight on the Majalengka-Cirebon border. However, the plan was canceled because they were out of number.

"When they turned around, the group actually caused trouble on the road by pointing sharp weapons at road users to disturb residents," he said.

Officers guarding in front of the Ligung Police then tried to block it. However, the group actually attacked the officers and swung sharp weapons at Aipda Darussalam.

As a result of the attack, Aipda Darussalam suffered a deep laceration to his left arm due to a 150 centimeter long sickle.

"The victim must receive 21 stitches and is currently still in intensive care at the hospital. His condition is stable," said the Police Chief.

After the incident, officers arrested 10 people suspected of being involved. From the examination, four people were named suspects. The police also confiscated a number of evidences, including sharp weapons, motorbikes, and clothes worn by the perpetrators at the time of the incident.

The suspects were charged with Article 170 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Article 2 Paragraph (1) of the Emergency Law Number 12 of 1951 concerning possession of sharp weapons, with a maximum penalty of nine years in prison.

"For child suspects, the legal process is carried out through the juvenile justice system in accordance with applicable regulations. We are still hunting for other perpetrators who are suspected of being involved," concluded Willy.
