Two injured in student brawl

JAKARTA (JP): A teacher and a student were injured in a fierce
brawl involving more than one hundred high school students in
Cilandak, South Jakarta, Saturday.

Students from the Cendrawasih and Bhakti Idata private senior
high schools, in South Jakarta, clashed at midday after a group
of Bhakti Idata students, on a public bus, yelled at Cendrawasih
students who were gathering in front of their school, chief of
Cilandak Police Subprecinct Maj. Hapsoro Wahyu said.

Hapsoro said the Bhakti Idata students pelted rocks at the
Cendrawasih students, who retaliated by stoning their attackers.

Hapsoro said there were no reports of casualties or damage to
buses. He also said no one was arrested.

However, eyewitnesses say they saw people being taken to the
nearby Setia Mitra Hospital for injuries, and two buses were
damaged.

A staff member from the hospital's emergency room told the
press two people were treated after the clash.

"One of them, Aberson Muslim, a teacher of Cendrawasih High
School suffered a serious head wound," said the staffer who
insisted on remaining anonymous.

The staffer also said the hospital had sent Odjie, a
Cendrawasih school student, to Fatmawati Hospital, because Setia
Mitra hospital could not treat his wounds. (05)
