BLITAR - Police, Specially Train (Polsuska) arrested a junior high school student after receiving a report from the Matarmaja train driver on the Malang - Pasar Senen connection, about the throw on the train.

Public Relations Manager Daop 7 Madiun Supriyanto explained that the stone throwing occurred on Friday (28/7) at 10.57 WIB. The train drove from Malang to Blitar and there was a throwing at km.122+4 between Garum - Blitar stations.

"There has been a stone throwing on the Matarumaja train while crossing between Garum Station - Blitar, and hitting the driver and train. After the train stopped at Blitar Station, the driver continued the report to the officers at the station," Supriyanto said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, July 28.

When he arrived at Blitar Station, the driver immediately conducted a self-examination at the Blitar Station Health Post, because the stone had hit the driver's body.

From the results of the examination, the driver's neck was scratched by a rock, so treatment was immediately carried out. The evaluation was also decided to have a change of machinist at Blitar Station.

This throwing was immediately forwarded by the train control center to the Blitar Station Security Team and the special train police (Polsuska). The team led by the Deputy Head of Blitar Station headed to the scene and carried out a sweep.

After a sweep, around the location of the throwing incident, there were six junior high school students who were relaxing on the edge of the railway line. In fact, at that time it was still during school lessons.

The officers then carried out the interrogation and found one of the six students was the perpetrator of throwing stones at the Matarumaja train.

The perpetrators of the throwing, he said, were then taken to Blitar Station. Meanwhile, five of his friends were trained at the location, in the hope that they would not imitate the act of throwing the train. They were then told to go home.

The perpetrators of throwing the Matarmaja train were then handed over to the Kepanjen Kidul Police, accompanied by the perpetrator's parents, the principal and the homeroom teacher.

At the Kepanjen Kidul Police, the perpetrators of the throwing were trained. The police also reminded parents of the student to supervise the behavior of their children.

In addition, the principal and the homeroom teacher are also entrusted with a message that is expected to also convey to their students not to throw them on trains, as the current perpetrators do.

"PT KAI does not hesitate to take legal action against this act," he said.

The student was asked to make a statement not to repeat his actions. The student is also required to report to the Kepanjen Kidul Police on Mondays and Thursdays.
