Man Arrested for Hitting University Student in Narrow Alley, Police Seize Motorcycle
The police successfully secured a man strongly suspected of hitting and running over a student from Padjadjaran University (Unpad) in a narrow alley. The arrest was made after CCTV footage showing the suspect’s arrogant actions went viral on social media.
The incident involving the student sparked public outrage because the suspect appeared to continue driving his motorcycle even though the victim had fallen in the narrow alley. Based on investigations by our team, the suspect was arrested without resistance at his home, along with the vehicle used during the incident.
The local police chief stated that the suspect’s identity was successfully identified thanks to the assistance of CCTV footage from local residents and statements from several witnesses at the scene. The suspect is known to be a resident who frequently travels along that route.
“After conducting a series of investigations and matching vehicle characteristics, the investigative team successfully secured the suspect. Currently, he is undergoing intensive questioning to determine the motive behind his actions,” said the police in an official statement.
The suspect is currently under investigation. Police are investigating whether there was an element of intent or gross negligence in the incident that injured the student.
The Unpad student who was the victim reportedly suffered several injuries due to the impact and being run over by the motorcycle. The university, through its representatives, has provided support to the victim, both medically and legally, to ensure that the process of justice runs smoothly.
The police also secured a motorcycle as the main piece of evidence. The suspect faces charges related to traffic and road transport laws, as well as potential charges of assault if it is proven that there was an element of intent in his actions.
The public is urged to remain calm and leave the legal process entirely to the police. This case serves as an important reminder of the importance of driving ethics, especially in densely populated residential areas and pedestrian lanes.
