Viral: Toyota Fortuner Surrounded by Angry Crowd in Tanah Abang, Windows Smashed with Stones

A Toyota Fortuner was attacked by a crowd in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, leaving the vehicle with shattered windows. Police intervened at the location.

In a video viewed on Sunday (7/6/2026), residents could be seen surrounding and pelting the car with stones. The front windscreen was broken after being struck by rocks. One individual was seen climbing onto the bonnet to smash the front glass with a stone. The vehicle subsequently sped away from the scene.

The Tanah Abang Police Chief, AKBP Dhimber Prasetyo, stated that the incident occurred on Saturday (6/6) at 4:30 PM WIB in Kebon Kacang, Tanah Abang. He noted that operational personnel received a report via the 110 call centre regarding the disturbance.

“Upon further investigation, it was found that the car’s windows were broken and the bodywork was dented,” said AKBP Dhimber.

Police are still investigating the case. Officers questioned the driver to establish the chronology of events and determine whether to file an official police report (LP); however, the driver appeared disoriented and unable to provide coherent answers.

The driver’s parents arrived approximately 20 minutes later to meet with the police. They declined to file a formal report regarding the vandalism and subsequently took the driver and the vehicle home.
