Chronology of events

West Kalimantan Regional Police Public Relations Chief Kombes Pol Donny Charles Go said that at the time of the incident crowds gathered and burned tires at the Jalan Tanjung Raya crossing, East Pontianak district, Pontianak city.

Because the actions carried out caused traffic jams and served as a means of provocation, the police officers finally took firm action.

Participants in the action even beat and kicked the officers with blunt objects. As a result, two policemen had to be rushed to the hospital.
