JAKARTA - A man in casual clothes is seen pointing a gun at a heavily armed motorbike rider in the Cakung area, East Jakarta, Monday, July 11. The action was recorded by other riders' amateur cameras and went viral on Instagram social media.
Apparently, the attempt at pointing a gun turned out to be an act of self-defense by a member of the Cakung Police, Aipda P, who was threatened with a sharp weapon by a motorcyclist.

"So, it's actually a member of the Cakung Police who took out the weapon, because the driver threatened the police with a knife," Syarifah said when confirmed by VOI, Monday, July 11.
Syarifah explained that at that time the traffic conditions in the area were being hit by congestion. Then the perpetrator with the initials IS (35) rode a motorbike against the current and almost hit Aipda P.
