JAKARTA - A man was desperate to hang on the aerial cable of Jalan Gatot Subroto, Karet Kuningan, Setiabudi, South Jakarta (Jaksel). Setiabudi Police Chief AKBP Ardiansyah thought the man was only seeking attention because he did not have the money to return to his hometown.

"I don't know what the basis is, it's just him because he wants to go home. Look for attention," said AKBP Ardiansyah, Monday, November 3.

Ardiansyah said that the members went straight to the location to check. When asked, the man named Sukardi admitted that he only wanted to go home.

"There is no cost, seek attention, come my members, give costs, are raised to the bus, go straight home," he said.

The man's action was carried out on Saturday, November 1 and went viral on social media. In the video, the man is seen wearing a green white striped shirt and blue jeans, seen hanging over an aerial cable.

The man finally got off after hanging on the aerial cable after being persuaded by the residents. After getting off, the man told the residents that he was having a problem. But he didn't tell what the problem was.

It appears that the man can only cry, then asks residents to be given a fee so they can return to their village in Tegal, Central Java.

"I just want to go home, sir, I'm lazy, sir. I ask you for a fee. I'd better go home on Sinar Jaya," the man said in the video.
