Drunk man leaps off 'Antara' building

JAKARTA: A young Papua man, presumably drunk, jumped off the third floor of Wisma Antara building in Central Jakarta and fell two floors below onto the generator room.

A security guard at the building, which is the office of state news agency Antara, said the man, William Elly Karamoy, ran into the building after being chased by a police officer and a taxi driver.

The taxi driver, Nurokmad, said William and two other men got into his taxi at 2 p.m. from the National Monument (Monas) park and asked him to go around the city without a certain destination.

They got out at Monas without paying.

Nurokmad reported them to the police at the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle, but they only found William.

William is being treated at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital for fractured ribs. -- Antara
