JAKARTA - Fruit traders on Jalan Raya Joglo, RT 07/03, Joglo Village, Kembangan District, West Jakarta, were victims of beatings by a group of thugs, Wednesday, September 4.

The victim with the initials AR suffered a battered wound after being beaten by a group of people. Meanwhile, the victim's colleague with the initials MA, was also targeted by the perpetrators.

According to information gathered, the incident occurred when the victim AR was selling avocado with his colleague, MA at the location.

Suddenly two thugs came asking for security money from the victim. However, because the selling conditions were empty of buyers, the victim gave Rp10 thousand to the two thugs.

Apparently, the nominal amount of Rp. 10,000 given by the victim made the two perpetrators annoyed because they felt humiliated. The two perpetrators were angry and threatened the victim to call his colleagues.

"A few minutes later 15 more people came. They threw up the victim's trading place randomly and threw a glass with a rock," said the witness in his statement, Wednesday, September 4.

The other perpetrators who were emotional finally ganged up on the victim. The perpetrators hit the forehead, eyes and head of the fruit trader. Even the victim's colleagues also did not escape the beating.

As a result of the incident, the two victims suffered bruises on their faces. They then reported to the Kembangan Police for further investigation.
