Fourteen nabbed in concert brawl

JAKARTA: Fourteen people were arrested on Wednesday night while 10 police officers were injured in a clash at the Bung Karno Sports Complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta.

Angry concertgoers became violent and threw stones at parked cars, damaging 23 of them, after they were denied entry to the concert where TransTV staged performances of, among others, noted singer Iwan Fals and Slank rock group in commemorating its third anniversary.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Tjiptono said that the incident started at around 9:10 p.m. The police have questioned three police officers as witnesses. -- JP
