JAKARTA - The attack using firecrackers carried out by a motorcycle gang against clothing traders from Pasar Senen had triggered a brawl at the Senen flyover, Central Jakarta, on Sunday, April 16.
"It wasn't a brawl, so there were convoys (motors) from Jalan Gunung Sahari towards Jalan Kramat, they threw firecrackers. They kept falling near the Thrift (used clothing) seller. Not a brawl," said Senen Police Chief Kompol David Purba when confirmed by VOI, Monday, April 17.
As a result of the attack, there were no casualties or injuries. The patrol police managed to disperse the teenagers who convoyd motorbikes in large quantities.
"We had time to expel the motorcyclist of the convoy. So it wasn't a brawl," he said.
The commotion was triggered by the sound of firecracker explosions falling towards a number of used clothing traders on Jalan Pasar Senen. Fearing a fire, he then suspected a buyer who was suspected of installing firecrackers.
The traders then ganged up on the buyer. However, after being questioned at the location, it turned out that the victim of the beating was not the perpetrator who installed fireworks.
"Initially, at the merchant's place there was a person there, he thought it was the culprit and then he was beaten. It turned out that it was not the culprit. After the police arrived at the location, the victim of the beating had also left the scene. We have also dispersed the convoy motorbike," he said.
Until now, the case is still being handled by the Senen Police Headquarters.
