However, instead of apologizing, the perpetrator resorted to assaulting the victim.

According to the victim's statement to the police, the assailant repeatedly struck him with his bare hands on the left jaw, causing bruising and pain. The assault followed an earlier incident where the perpetrator's motorcycle allegedly hit the victim's from behind multiple times. When the victim attempted to address the situation, the attacker resorted to physical violence instead of apologizing, as reported by Kapolsek Jagakarsa Komisaris Nurma Dewi.

So it's complete.

Further investigations revealed that FRS tested positive for methamphetamine use. In addition to the assault, he committed other traffic violations, including not wearing a helmet. "So it's complete," Dewi stated, indicating that the suspect would also be ticketed by the traffic unit. The police confirmed that the perpetrator and victim did not know each other, and the motive appeared to be a spontaneous urge to assault someone.

The motive was that he just wanted to hit someone. He said there was a whisper telling him he wanted to hit someone on the road.

During the altercation, captured on the victim's phone, the victim, wearing a helmet, face mask, and sunglasses, questioned the attacker's actions. The assailant, who was not wearing a helmet, demanded the victim remove his helmet and asked if the victim knew him. The victim denied knowing the attacker, who then proceeded to strike him again before the victim managed to apologize and escape. The perpetrator reportedly had no clear destination while riding his motorcycle, stating he was just riding around aimlessly.

He was just walking, riding a motorcycle, going around. He just said that. He didn't know where he was going.
