Previously, hundreds of people attacked the East Jakarta Metro Police (Jaktim) so dozens of vehicles in the form of cars and motorbikes parked in front of the building were burned to the ground, Saturday, August 30, 2025, in the early hours of the morning.

At that time the masses came in droves and immediately threw stones at the Polres building and other hard objects.
