JAKARTA The case of a man handling a Transjakarta bus in Sarinah, Menteng, Central Jakarta is still under investigation. Head of the TransJakarta Public Relations and CSR Department, Ayu Wardhani, quoted Kompas.com as saying that the alleged perpetrator had been arrested and transferred to the local police station. However, the Menteng Metro Police Chief, Kompol Bayu Marfiando when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, October 23 denied this.

"No one has been arrested yet. The case is still in the process of being investigated," said the Menteng Metro Police Chief, Kompol Bayu Marfiando when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, October 23.

Kompol Bayu juga belum bisa menjelaskan lebih lanjut terkait motif kejadian penanggan bus Transjakarta oleh seorang pria tak dikenal tersebut.

However, Transjakarta through Kompas.com reports claims that it has handled the case and the alleged perpetrator has been handed over to the local police for further handling.

Unfortunately, until this news was broadcast, Transjakarta Public Relations did not respond to VOI's confirmation via cellphone, Wednesday, October 23, 2024.

The case of the Transjakarta ambush has become crowded after it went viral on social media. Based on amateur camera footage, the perpetrator who was driving a minibus with police number B 1359 KCZ was seen blocking the Transjakarta bus lane on the busway lane.

The man, wearing an all-black shirt and hat, then got out of his car carrying a sharp weapon (sajam) suspected of being a samurai or catana.

Then the man went with an ojol to Jalan Wahid Hasyim towards Gondangdia and left his car on the Transjakarta route.

Netizens regret that Transjakarta bus security officers did not take action. Even netizens commented on the quality of Transjakarta bus officers.

"That's security, why don't you just shut up. Instead of going down "give". " write akbar_abu_dma.

Unlike this netizen, he also assessed that the quality of the officers on the bus was not as imagined.
