Jakarta –
A riot occurred at a restaurant on Jalan KH Abdullah Syafei, Tebet, South Jakarta. The commotion was sparked by a YouTuber who created video content by intercepting motorists who were going against the direction.
Tebet Police Chief Kompol Chitya Intania this incident occurred on Tuesday (15/8/2023) around 20.45 WIB. It started when YouTuber ‘LaurenTV’, Laurendenra Hutagalung, created content to intercept motorists going in the opposite direction at that location.
“The cause of the crowd was due to education for motorists about going in the opposite direction from YouTuber LaurenTV,” said Chitya in a written statement, Wednesday (16/8/2023).
But the YouTuber’s action made road users angry. Several ojol drivers were later involved in an argument with the YouTuber.
The YouTuber was almost judged by the masses. Residents then rescued him in a restaurant. The mob then surrounded him.
“During education, several road users (online motorcycle taxis) were not pleased with this education, and an argument ensued in front of the Wong Solo restaurant,” he said.
Residents then mediated between YouTuber Laurendra and the ojol. The YouTuber finally apologized and agreed that the video content “intercept motorists in the opposite direction” was finally removed.
“Then mediation was carried out between Laurendra Hutagalung and the online motorcycle taxi driver by making a statement including an apology, going forward for content creation to ask permission from the RT and RW, so that the video that was recorded today was deleted then a statement was agreed between the two parties ,” he said.
Furthermore, the content creators were finally taken to the South Jakarta Metro Police. He emphasized that this was triggered by a misunderstanding and that mediation had been carried out.
“The situation is conducive to safety,” he said.
