South Korean Nam Ho In, 40, was found lying unconscious and injured near a vacant house in Kampung Curug, Sawangan, Depok, early on Saturday.

According to information from the man's maid, police believe that Nam was robbed while taking a taxi to his home in Cempaka Putih, East Jakarta.

Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said the police had found indications that the victim, who works for Asiana Airlines, was robbed by at least three people.

The robbers made off with Nam's cellular phone, watch and at least Rp 9.5 million in cash.

"We are still trying to gather information and identify the taxi the victim was in," the police spokesman told The Jakarta Post.

He said that as with other robberies inside cabs, the taxi driver could have been involved in the crime.

The victim is being treated at MMC Hospital in Kuningan, South Jakarta, for a broken leg and head wounds. He has yet to regain consciousness.

This is the 15th known robbery inside a taxi this year, with all but one of the cases remaining unsolved.

Police said they had trouble identifying the perpetrators because of a lack of clues.
