Warmindo in Gondokusuman Vandalised by Unknown Group; Employee Assaulted

A warmindo eatery on Jalan Gayam in Gondokusuman, Yogyakarta, was vandalised by a group of unknown people. An employee was also assaulted by members of the group.

“The victim, identified as P, is a 29-year-old male warmindo employee. He suffered bruising to his cheek,” Yogyakarta City Police public relations chief Iptu Dani Hasan told detikJogja on Friday (16 October 2026).

Dani explained how the assault and damage occurred. The alleged assault and vandalism took place at about 1.30am.

“At around 1am, approximately seven people came to the warmindo. At about 1.30am, the group wanted to change the music using a phone connected via Bluetooth,” he said.

“They could not connect their phone because the warmindo’s active speaker was locked or password-protected,” Dani added.

Unable to connect a phone to the eatery’s speaker via Bluetooth, one of the group allegedly became angry and assaulted an employee. Two other members of the group then joined in.

The group also caused damage, smashing a display cabinet and several glasses. The employee immediately contacted the police.

“As a result, the group became angry and one of the perpetrators hit the victim, while two others joined in. They also smashed the glass display cabinet and approximately 20 glasses,” Dani said.

“The victim then called 110. When the group realised he had contacted the police service, they left the scene on five motorbikes,” he added.

Gondokusuman Police subsequently responded to the report by visiting the warmindo. The case is now being handled by the police.

“The warmindo owner suffered losses from the broken glass display cabinet and approximately 20 broken drinking glasses,” Dani concluded.
