South Tangerang Police criminal investigation unit head Adj. Comr. Alexander said the man, identified as Herman, 34, pretended to be a passenger of a GrabCar app-based ride-hailing car.
While he was in the car, he attempted to choke the driver, identified as Muhiban, and then kicked him out of the car.
Muhiban, who ended up with bruising on the neck and a cheek, later filed a police report.
“The perpetrator tried to evade arrest so we took stern action and shot him in the right foot,” Alexander said as quoted by kompas.com. Herman was nabbed on Jl. Tondano.
Herman, Alexander added, had been charged under Article 365 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) on theft with violence. (fac)
