For information, the video of the stabbing and throwing acid at the watermelon seller at the Kramatjati Main Market went viral on social media. One of them was shared by the Instagram account @wargajakarta.id, Monday (8/1/2024). In the video, the victim, who was wearing a pink T-shirt, was initially standing at his kiosk.

Not long after, a man wearing a mask came to the victim's kiosk area. The man wearing a green sweater then poured what was thought to be acid on the victim's head. This is because a puff of smoke came out of the victim's head shortly after the liquid was doused. It didn't stop there, the helpless victim was then hacked using a sharp sickle-type weapon. The sickle then hit several parts of the victim's body and stuck in his right arm. The man in the green sweater then ran away leaving the victim when the trafficker was helpless.
