Police officers were quick to handle the brawl between students on Jalan Pamarayan, Serang Regency, which was equipped with sharp weapons. It is possible that if there was a delay in the commotion between the groups of students, it is certain that there were casualties. Luckily, three students who were injured by sharp weapons could be saved after being rushed to the Pamarayan Health Center. "We are very responsive to handling brawl events and securing 14 students," he said.

They are suspects in the brawl between students and are now undergoing examination. "All students who became suspects for carrying sharp weapons and being subject to the Emergency Law," he said. The police chief explained that the mass commotion on the streets between two groups of students from 8 junior high and vocational schools began with mocking each other on social media. Furthermore, the two groups of students agreed to meet to carry out a brawl on Jalan Raya Pamarayan-Tambak which resulted in three students lying covered in blood. Officers moved quickly after receiving reports from local residents about the commotion between students. "Residents who saw the brawl reported to the Pamarayan Police. Armed with the report, the Resmob Team immediately moved to the scene and a joint team who arrived at the location immediately evacuated the injured victims to the local health center and other personnel were hunting down the perpetrators and managed to secure 14 students along with evidence," explained Yudha. Yudha explained that his party managed to secure several pieces of evidence, namely 4 motorbikes, 7 cellphones, 5 sickles, 1 knife, 1 wholesale type knife and video recording. On that occasion, the Police Chief expressed his concern over the incident of a brawl between students that occurred again. The police chief reiterated to parents and the school to be more stringent in supervising their children and not wandering outside school hours. According to the order of the Banten Police Chief, if you are caught carrying a sharp weapon, especially when involved in a brawl, we will be prosecuted according to the applicable law indiscriminately. "We ask parents if they love their children not to let them leave the house without a clear purpose, for fear of becoming the perpetrators of motorcycle gangs or being victims," said Yudha.
