JAKARTA - The police explained the chronology of the cyclists being bogged down on Jalan Puri Indah Raya, Kembangan, West Jakarta. The incident occurred on Tuesday, October 27 morning.

Head of West Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Police Commissioner Teuku Arsya Khadaffi, explained that Hendra (41), who was on a bicycle with his colleague, was caught by a motorbike rider who was riding along.

"The perpetrator was hitched on behind the back, reflexively the victim immediately grabbed the perpetrator's hand so that the victim was unbalanced and then bounced and fell," said Arsya as quoted by Antara, Thursday, October 29.

After falling, the victim realized that his cellphone was not in his pocket. When the victim cleaned his wound, a colleague recorded it and shared it with a group of cyclists.

The incident finally went viral on social media. Arsya said his party had processed the crime scene (TKP) and asked the victim for information.

Shortly thereafter, the police found the victim's cellphone that had fallen into a ditch.

"Until now, the victim does not want to make a report, but we have managed to find his cellphone in a ditch not far from the location," said Arsya.

However, Arsya said that until now his party was still investigating whether the perpetrator was the mugging or not. A number of CCTVs around the location have been taken by his party for analysis.

"We are still investigating the CCTV. We will inform you later if we have analyzed the CCTV," he said.
