Minivan driver attacked, robbed

BOGOR (JP): Patrol police found an injured Angkot (public
transportation van) driver tied up beside the Jagorawi toll road
on Saturday.

A Citeureup police officer said the 20-year-old driver,
Afrizal, was the victim of a robbery.

Afrizal, who plied the Bogor-Cibinong route, told police that
he left the Bogor market with four passengers -- three sitting in
the back seats and the other sitting next to him.

While driving, one of the passengers suddenly pointed a knife
at Afrizal and asked him to leave his route and take the toll
road, the police officer, who asked for anonymity, said.

After they entered the toll road, the four passengers tied up
Afrizal with a rope and beat him, he said.

The men drove away with the van after dumping the driver on
the side of the road, he said.

Police found Afrizal at about 3 a.m. and rushed him to the
nearby Cibinong community health center for medical treatment.
