T
wo city workers, popularly known as orange troops, suffered injuries after being stabbed by an unidentified person in East Jakarta on Sunday.
The two workers, identified as Azi Syarif and Suhendar, both 28 years old, were checking a broken street lamp in Pekayon subdistrict, Pasar Rebo, when someone attacked them using a sharp weapon, tribunnews.com reported on Monday.
"Azi suffers severe injuries to his head and he's still being hospitalized at the police hospital in Kramat Jati," Pekayon subdistrict head Nunuk Widyastuti said.
Separately, East Jakarta Police Chief Sr. Comr. Mohammad Agung Budijono said the police was still investigating the case. He had yet to discover the motive behind the attack.
Azi and Suhendar were Public Facility Maintenance Agency (PPSU) workers, dubbed the ‘orange troops’ because of their signature orange uniform. (Vny)
