After successfully seizing Apen's cellphone, the two perpetrators fled and looked for new targets. After some time, continued Zain, his party received a report of a robbery victim experienced by Imam.

The incident began when the victim and his friends were about to go home but passed through the Tangerang City Government Center (Puspemkot) area. At that time the victim crossed paths with the two perpetrators.

Again, the perpetrators pointed the sickle at the victim. Suddenly the victim ran away. Unfortunately, Imam fell, so he was hacked by the perpetrator using a sickle.
