Pekanbaru clash kills one, injures 3

PEKANBARU, Riau: A group of drunken youths clashed with street
vendors on Wednesday night in Pekanbaru, leaving one person dead
and three others injured.

The clash broke out after the group of youths drank themselves
into a state of intoxication on a street sidewalk in Pekanbaru.
The youths then caused chaos by attempting to expel the vendors
from the street.

This led to a bloody clash after a group of other street
vendors, helped by pedicab drivers and gas station employees,
joined the melee.

Roni, one of the youths, was stabbed to death in the clash,
while three people -- a street vendor, a pedicab driver and a gas
station attendant -- were slightly injured. -- JP
