AKARTA: Seven children in Penggilingan, Cakung, East Jakarta, were arrested by the police on Friday morning after they were caught throwing stones and nails at a passing train.
The children, aged between 11 and 16 years old, had been arrested on a rail track connecting Cakung and Klender Baru stations, said Eva Chairunisa of PT KAI Commuter Jabodetabek (KCJ), as quoted by tribunnews.com.
'They were caught throwing stones and nails at a train,' she said.
According to Eva, the seven children ' with initials MR, A, Ra, Ri, Re, MF and Lu ' adds to the list of children arrested on Thursday for similar offenses.
The children were taken to Cakung sub-precinct for questioning, with their parents also asked to visit the station.
The children, Eva claimed, had thrown projectiles at trains several times in the past.
Throwing stones at trains can result in injuries to passengers sitting near windows.
