Man charged with assault

JAKARTA: Police arrested an apparently inebriated man in
connection to an assault on a public minivan driver in the early
hours of Sunday morning on Jl. Mundu Luar, Koja in North Jakarta.

The suspect, identified as Jumeri, 27, is charged with
assaulting the driver, Sanusi, 21, after the two were involved in
an argument over the bus fare. Sanusi held Jumeri and insisted
that he had to pay the fare but the latter pulled out a sword
from his jacket and slashed Sanusi's left arm.

Jumeri then ran away, leaving the wounded Sanusi behind, who
then shouted for help. Nearby residents came to help Sanusi while
Jumeri was arrested a few hours later. -- JP
