'Ojek' driver severely wounded<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): An ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver was badly
\ninjured on Friday when he tried, with the help of residents from
\nEast Depok, to stop four men from stealing his motorcycle.<\/p>\n
The driver, Cepi, 35, was stabbed in the neck, left ear and
\nacross his palms during the attack. He was rushed to Cipto
\nMangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"He's in a critical condition. Doctors say the bleeding will
\nstop but the wounds are really deep so I can only hope and pray,\"
\nWasiyati, the victim's wife, said. She has remained by her
\nhusband's side in the intensive care unit.<\/p>\n
Wasiyati quoted a fellow ojek driver as saying that about 10
\na.m., Cepi, a resident of Sidomukti, East Depok, was asked by a
\npassenger -- described as a clean, good looking, young man -- to
\ntake him to Studio Alam TVRI.<\/p>\n
Studio Alam was about five kilometers from Cepi's ojek base,
\nshe said.<\/p>\n
\"As soon as he reached Studio Alam, however, three men stopped
\nthe motorcycle and asked my husband to get off.\"<\/p>\n
With the passenger's help, the three thieves forced Cepi to
\nhand over his motorcycle and wallet, containing about Rp 28,000
\n(US$5.60), she said.<\/p>\n
But Cepi screamed for help, alerting some residents who were
\nworking in nearby fields.<\/p>\n
The gang fled but not before severely wounding Cepi.<\/p>\n
Fellow ojek drivers reported the case to a nearby police
\nstation. (04)<\/p>",
