AKARTA: An officer with the Menteng Police opened fire on a 41-year-old man, identified only as ML, who reportedly went berserk in a fast food restaurant in Sarinah, Central Jakarta, on Friday.
Menteng Police's criminal unit head Adj. Comr. Ridwan said the incident took place at 6:22 a.m. when ML arrived at the restaurant's counter. For no apparent reason he became upset and started shouting 'Who's in charge?'
The man then threw a cash register at a restaurant staff member before smashing the glass front door with his fist. ML then left the restaurant but returned soon after with a sickle in his hand.
Ridwan said an officer who arrived in the scene had no option other than to shoot the man after he resisted arrest.
'He has been detained at the Menteng Police office,' Ridwan said, adding that ML was believed to have previously engaged in similar behavior in the Menteng area in the past.
