Students held for rock throwing

JAKARTA (JP): North Jakarta police detained 19 local high schools students on Monday for throwing stones at passing vehicles on Jl. Enggano.

Some of the students were released several hours later after their parents and teachers agreed to deal with them properly, the Suara Pembaruan evening daily reported yesterday.

Before attacking the passing cars, the students were involved in a brawl with students from other schools.

No fatalities were reported but a number of the students from both sides sustained slight injuries. (bsr)
