Background of the Bro Ron Assault Incident

Head of Public Relations at Central Jakarta Metro Police Iptu Erlyn Sumantri explained that the assault occurred on Monday (4/5) at 16:22 WIB. Initially, Ronald arrived with 15 employees of PT SKS to hold an audience at the MPP law firm regarding the unpaid wages of the employees.

“Since the audience could not meet with the MPP party as the one being demonstrated against, the Menteng Metro Police Station took the initiative to hold mediation at the Menteng Metro Police Station,” explained Erlyn on Tuesday (5/5).

He said that the audience at the location initially proceeded safely and conducively with police accompaniment. However, a group of unknown individuals then appeared and, without clear reason, carried out intimidation and obstructed the audience process.

“As a result of the actions of that group, the situation heated up and an argument arose, eventually leading to the victim receiving punches from that group,” Erlyn clarified.

“Then, officers separated the victim and the suspects and secured them to be brought to the Menteng Metro Police Station for further examination,” he added.
