"The exact location is in Pandowoharjo, but close to Pisangan Village, Tridadi Village," he said.

So four teenagers who were victims of stabbings had just joined the school graduation parade and were planning to go home. But because it was raining, they stopped by to buy meatballs on the side of the road.

"While they were eating meatballs, from the south there was a group of teenagers carrying sharp weapons and suddenly slashed them with swords and bottles. The information I received was like that," he said.

Yamtono, whose house is not far from the scene of the incident, immediately went to the location after receiving a call from the community with a car that was planned to take the victims to the hospital.

"But it turns out that there are cars belonging to local residents who will take the victims to the hospital," he said.

Yamtono finally took him to the Sleman Hospital as a family representative because one of the victims who was hacked was a resident.

"In that incident there were four victims who were stabbed, three people suffered stab wounds in the back. While one other person had a small stab wound in the arm," he said.

He said after receiving medical treatment at the Sleman Hospital, three people were allowed to go home for outpatient treatment, while another person with the initials A from Tempel had to be hospitalized because his injuries were quite serious.
