Ojol Driver Found Collapsed on East Jakarta Roadside After Suspected Exhaustion
An Ojol driver was found collapsed on the roadside in the Cipinang Muara area of East Jakarta. The driver is suspected to have been exhausted.
The Ojol driver was discovered by members of Battalion B Satbrimob Polda Metro Jaya conducting a joint patrol with the Presisi Pioneer Team of East Jakarta Metro Police Residency on Basuki Rachmat Street, Cipinang Muara, East Jakarta, at around 2:27 am on Friday (29/5/2026).
Initially, officers noticed a crowd on the roadside. Upon checking, they found a man lying weakly at the location.
Patrol teams subsequently called an ambulance to transport the victim to the nearest hospital. Afterward, officers resumed patrolling and checked several high-risk areas.
The joint team patrolled vulnerable spots for riots and street crime in the Jatinegara to Pulogadung area. Police also dispersed groups of people loitering late into the night, deemed likely to disrupt public order.
Police Commissioner Henik Maryanto stated that routine patrols are being intensified to anticipate riots and street criminality, which often occur from evening to early morning.
‘The presence of personnel on the ground also serves as rapid response for communities requiring assistance,’ he said.
As the patrol concluded, East Jakarta’s area was reported to be safe and conducive. Police urged the public to contact the 110 emergency hotline immediately if they encounter criminal activity or disturbances to public order in their vicinity.
