An act of stabbing a illegal parking attendant occurred. Perpetrators and victims have the same profession, illegal parking attendants. The commotion was triggered because the distribution of parking rations was uneven or unfair so that one of the perpetrators was desperate to kill his own friend with a knife.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin appealed to the public to report to the police if they found any illegal jukir who asked for parking fees at high prices.

"Please let the public report to us. Just video or take a photo of the person," said Kombes Komarudin to reporters, Friday, March 17.

"Send it to us, we will follow up and process anyone or a group that charges for parking at a high price because we can apply the extortion article," he said.
