Depok assault and Lampung fairground ride entrapment reported in Indonesia

A 21‑year‑old woman identified only as N filed a police report in Depok after her ex‑boyfriend assaulted her in a shopping centre, pulling her veil, punching and kicking her when she ended their three‑year relationship. The incident was reported to the Metro Depok Police under case number LP/B/1627/VII/2026.

In Lampung Tengah, dozens of visitors became trapped for about two hours on a Ferris‑wheel ride at the Karang Endah night market when the machine stopped, likely due to an electrical short. Fire‑rescue personnel, aided by electricity workers, rescued all passengers without injuries, using a rescue platform and ladders.

Both events highlight safety concerns in public spaces across Indonesia.
