A
car driver shot another car on Monday on the Jakarta Outer Ring Road in Cipayung, East Jakarta.
The East Jakarta police reported that the driver of the car, a Kia Picanto, allegedly committed the offense as he could not accept that his car was suddenly overtaken by the other car, a Daihatsu Xenia.
The attacked car, was driven by man identified only as Dwi, with his family onboard. No casualties were reported in the incident.
According to police, Dwi and his family were on their way to Cimanggis, Depok, West Java, from Bekasi when the perpetrator unexpectedly released a gunshot into his car's right window.
East Jakarta police chief Sr. Comr. Umar Faroq said the police had yet to arrest the perpetrator although they have found his house address.
'We have come to his house, but he might have learned about the case, so he is not home yet,' he said on Tuesday as quoted by kompas.com.
Umar said although the gun was identified as an Airsoft gun, the car shooter could face criminal charges as he could endanger people's lives.
