A
member of the Indonesian Military (TNI) allegedly attacked a parking attendant, identified as Zuansyah, 21, and fired a pistol into the ceiling of a basement car park in Gandaria City mall, South Jakarta, on Friday evening, after refusing to pay his parking fee.
“There was an attack, which is still being investigated by police at Kebayoran Lama sub-precinct,” South Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Iwan Kurniawan said on Saturday as quoted by kompas.com.
The serviceman was reportedly driving a car with a military license plate that was parked in the mall's basement.
When he wanted to exit the basement, the parking attendant asked him to pay Rp 20,000 (US$1.48), but the serviceman complained.
After arguing with Zuansyah, the man finally paid the parking fee and left the basement.
A few moments later, however, he returned to the basement with another man.
Both men attacked Zuansyah and one of them reportedly fired a pistol into the ceiling.
The mall management then went to the basement to stop the fight.
Together with Zuansyah, the management filed the report with Kebayoran Lama Police.
Meanwhile, TNI spokesperson Maj. Gen. Wuryanto said the military would investigate the case and act firmly with the serviceman if he was found guilty. (Cal)
