PADANG - With the intention of arresting drug dealers, two officers from the Limapuluh Kota Police of Padang were covered in blood. The police, who disguised themselves as drug buyers, suffered stab wounds to the neck, wrist and back.
The Head of Public Relations of the West Sumatra Police, Police Commissioner Satake Bayu, said that the two personnel, Bripda FY and Bripda RR, both served in the Fifty City Police Narcotics Unit.
The two non-commissioned officers disguised themselves as drug buyers on the evening of Thursday 2 June. However, the police disguise was revealed by the perpetrator named Rangga Pratama (23).
Rangga, who knew that the police were undercover, immediately fought back. "In the end, they got into a fight. Then the perpetrator took out a sharp weapon, a knife, from his trouser pocket," said Satake in Padang, Friday, June 3.
He explained that the first stab to FY resulted in lacerations on the neck and wrists. RR tried to help, but also met resistance.
"While helping, it turned out that the knife was also directed at RR, causing lacerations to his back and wrists," he explained.
Despite the resistance, based on the Antara report, the perpetrator was finally caught by RR. After arresting Pratama, RR and FY were immediately rushed to Ahmad Darwis Suliki Hospital, Fifty Cities District.
From the arrest, the police confiscated a package of methamphetamine wrapped in a clear plastic clip.
