JAKARTA - The parking attendant with the initials W, who disturbed residents of South Cipete, Cilandak, South Jakarta, is suspected to be a person with mental disorders (ODGJ).

Ardiansyah, a local resident and victim, said W lives on Jalan Puri Mutiara III, South Cipete, Cilandak, South Jakarta. He mentioned ODGJ.

"Residents here already know that the parking attendant is ODGJ," said Ardiansyah when contacted, Thursday, August 18.

Ardiansyah said, W used to walk in the Puti Mutiara I to Puri Mutiara III area. He attacks people randomly.

"Random (random-ed), but it is more dominant that the people who are attacked are often seen and often pass by," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Social Sub-Department for the South Jakarta Administration, Bernard Tambunan, admitted that he had ordered his members to secure the ODGJ man for a psychological test.

"If the ODGJ is also later we want to check if for example the family is still quite capable and is there to treat, handle it, yes we also go home. But if they are no longer able to handle it, we immediately take them to the Duren Sawit mental hospital," he continued.

When contacted by the Cilandak Police Chief, Kompol Multazam will coordinate with the sub-districts to the South Jakarta Social Sub-dept. to secure the perpetrators.

"We are looking for the perpetrators suspected of being ODGJ, so as not to disturb Kamtibmas (community security and order)," he concluded.
