JAKARTA - A total of 4 people were trapped in the Citra Tower elevator, Apron Street, Kebon Blank, Kemayoran District, Central Jakarta. The incident made the four victims scream hysterically because the elevator stopped at a height between the 18A and 19th floors.

Head of the Central Jakarta Fire and Rescue (Gulkarmat) Sub-dept., Asril Rizal, confirmed the incident. His party has dispatched a rescue team to evacuate the victims from the elevator.

"There are four people trapped in the elevator. The alleged cause is due to the elevator system error," said Asril Rizal when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, July 11.

After receiving the report, the Central Jakarta Gulkarmat Sub-dept. deployed 2 units of teams with a total of 6 rescue members to rescue victims.

"The object of four people trapped in the elevator was successfully evacuated from the elevator. The evacuation of the four people lasted about 90 minutes," he said.

During the evacuation process, officers had experienced problems because the elevator room was among other floors, making it difficult to reach.

"The only position is the elevator room between the 18A and 19, but we managed to evacuate them safely," he said.
