PALU, Central Sulawesi: One person was critically injured when a
group of youths attacked several kiosks in Banggai regency on
Sunday.

The incident occurred after a kiosk owner reprimanded a youth
for urinating behind his kiosk in Kilo Lima, Luwuk district,

The youth took offense at being reprimanded and later returned
with a group of friends, who attacked the kiosks and fought with
the traders and local residents, who the youths outnumbered.

Local resident Simson was taken to the hospital with serious
injuries.

Two youths named Roni and Paili were apprehended by Banggai
Police shortly after the incident.
