The incident was\ncaptured by CCTV and went viral on social media. The footage shows the\nvictim riding a motorcycle with her toddler through a narrow alley,\npassing four men chatting at the roadside. Moments later, the Molotov\ncocktail was thrown, hitting the motorcycle\u2019s dashboard. The victim\npanicked and screamed hysterically before crashing into a door and\nfalling with her child. Residents immediately chased the perpetrators,\nwith one man grabbing a sharp weapon to pursue them, while others helped\nthe victim and extinguished the flames with water.<\/p>\n<p>Koja Police Chief Kompol Andry Suharto confirmed the victim was\nmerely passing by and had no connection to the attack. \u201cIt was not aimed\nat the mother; she just happened to be passing,\u201d he stated on Tuesday\n(23\/6\/2026). The Molotov cocktail landed on the road and ignited as the\nmotorcycle passed, startling the victim and causing her to fall.<\/p>\n<p>Police suspect four perpetrators based on CCTV evidence. \u201cFrom the\nCCTV footage, the perpetrators are believed to number around four\npeople,\u201d said Polda Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations Kombes Budi\nHermanto. Investigators have secured CCTV recordings and fragments of\nthe Molotov bottle as evidence and are working to identify and apprehend\nthe suspects while probing the motive.<\/p>\n<p>Investigations revealed the intended target was a man identified as\nK, the uncle of a man named U. The alleged thrower, identified as M, is\nthe former husband of a woman named R, who is now in a relationship with\nU. Police said M was jealous even though he also has a new partner. \u201cM\nwas jealous of R and U. Strangely, his jealousy was misdirected at U\u2019s\nfamily. The man seen sitting holding a phone in the video is U\u2019s uncle,\nK,\u201d Andry explained. M allegedly intended to throw the Molotov at K, who\nwas playing on his phone outside a house on Jalan Mandiri II on Monday\n(22\/6) at around 9 a.m. local time. K, seen wearing a blue shirt in the\nfootage, managed to dodge when the device exploded nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Police confirmed the mother and child were unharmed. \u201cThe victim\u2019s\ncondition is fine; she was just shocked and the motorcycle fell, but\nthere were no injuries,\u201d said Kompol Andry. The victim has been advised\nto file a police report. The four suspects remain at large as the joint\npolice team continues its investigation.<\/p>",
