after being stabbed by two unidentified teenagers at the Pancoran
intersection traffic lights in South Jakarta.

a group of teenagers who helped direct passengers to the bus.

pay more as only two passengers boarded the bus at the

repeatedly stabbed Ramdali in his stomach, fleeing after he
collapsed.

sent to the hospital.
