PPSU Officer in East Jakarta Attacked and Stabbed After Asking Resident to Remove Sandals
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Endri (52), a member of the Bidara Cina Public Infrastructure and Facilities Management Unit (PPSU), Jatinegara, East Jakarta, became the victim of an assault and stabbing at the Bidara Cina sub-district office on Thursday (14/5/2026) at 05:00 WIB.
Endri said that just before the incident, he had finished sweeping Jalan Otista Raya and was about to clock in at the sub-district office.
“I was chatting with a colleague who was on duty. A young man entered the sub-district office, and I told him, ‘Please take off your sandals.’ The floor had just been mopped, and I didn’t want the people who had cleaned it to have their work undone,” said Endri when met at his home in the Bidara Cina area on Friday (15/5/2026).
As a result of the incident, he suffered a wound to his right thigh, as well as bruises and swelling on his lips.
“I apologized, but he still hit me. He hit me once, twice, until I fell in front of the DKI ATM located at the sub-district office. After that, he stabbed me. I just stayed silent. A lot of blood came out,” said Endri.
After being stabbed, Endri immediately went into the Satpol PP (Public Order Agency) room to avoid the perpetrator. At that time, the victim immediately contacted his brother to ask for help.
He said that the wounds he suffered were quite deep. In fact, medical personnel said that his condition could have been fatal if it had not been treated promptly.
“I was taken to the Jatinegara sub-district office in a sub-district vehicle. There, they only gave me a bandage; they didn’t dare to treat me. Then I was referred to RSCM,” said Endri.
“Well, yesterday I forgave him. I forgave him. That’s what you do when someone apologizes, you forgive them. But as for the legal process, we’ll see what happens,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the Jatinegara Police Chief, Kompol Samsono, confirmed the incident and said that the victim had filed a report.
“We are still conducting an investigation. A police report has been filed, and the victim has returned home,” said Samsono when contacted via WhatsApp message on Friday.
