JAKARTA - Head of the Central Jakarta Metro Police Intelligence Unit (Kasat) AKBP Ferikson Tampubolon suffered a puncture wound to the head due to a blow from a Papuan student who was about to stage a demonstration at the office of the Minister of Home Affairs, Gambir District, Central Jakarta, Friday, March 11, afternoon.

Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit (Kasat Reskrim) of the Central Jakarta Metro Police Kompol Wisnu Wardana confirmed that one of the Central Jakarta Police Officers was injured.

Wisnu said the victim was the Head of Intel Central Jakarta, Ferikson Tampubolon, who suffered head injuries.

"Yes, that's right. Our member was injured in the head and is currently being rushed to the nearest hospital," said Kompol Wisnu when confirmed by VOI, Friday, March 11.

Confirmed separately, Kapolsek Sawah Besar, Kompol Maulana Mukarom said, the incident occurred when officers were conducting an insulation against Papuan students who wanted to protest to the Minister of Home Affairs.

"Students hit them with blunt objects and with their bare hands," he said.

Maulana regretted that the student action resulted in the beating of a member of the police officer who was the victim.

"Even though the officers carried out security in a humanistic manner, the masses deliberately carried out anarchic (violent) actions," he said.
