Teenager stabs co-worker for scold

JAKARTA (JP): Central Jakarta Police arrested a teenager
yesterday for stabbing his co-worker in a quarrel Tuesday.

Police source said Abdul, a junior worker at a Padang (West
Sumatra) restaurant on Jl. Hayam Wuruk, stabbed Ujang bin Jaffar
for telling him off as he was abandoning his duties for a walk.

City Police Spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang confirmed the
arrest of Abdul, 16.

He said Ujang, who had worked longer at the Jaya Padang
restaurant, had reprimanded Abdul for planning to leave his
duties to go for a stroll with a friend.

Ujang also scolded the friend for tempting Abdul to break the
restaurant's regulations, Aritonang said.

"Abdul apparently could not stand the treatment and took a
knife from the kitchen and stabbed Ujang in the stomach,"
Aritonang said.

Ujang is in the Husada hospital, West Jakarta. (04)
