BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Some 600 students from three high
schools in the Krui district, West Lampung, attacked the local
police precinct after reports of a police chief punching a
teacher in the face, Antara reported.

Their target was Second Lt. Yusuf Yahya, whom the students
said beat Agus Pramono, a teacher at the SMA I high school. They
demanded that the officer be removed.

The news agency did not detail the injuries sustained.

Police have said that they are investigating the case together
