JIMBARAN, Bali<\/strong> \u2013 A pre-dawn gathering of young men allegedly drinking alcohol in South Bali turned violent over the weekend after they reportedly began throwing rocks at passing motorists, injuring at least one person and triggering a neighborhood manhunt that briefly resulted in innocent bystanders being detained by residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident unfolded around 4 a.m. on Saturday, July 18<\/strong>, near the Taman Griya intersection in Jimbaran<\/strong>, a busy residential area popular with both locals and long-term foreign residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say the suspected attackers remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early-Morning Commute Turns Violent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Denpasar Police spokesperson Iptu I Gede Adi Saputra Jaya<\/strong>, investigators believe the disturbance began when a group of youths gathered on the roadside to drink alcohol before allegedly targeting people passing through the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The group is suspected of consuming alcoholic beverages before throwing rocks at people traveling toward the Taman Griya residential area,” Adi said on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reported victims, identified only by his initials FS<\/strong>, told police he was riding home after spending the evening with friends when he suddenly came under attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rock allegedly struck him in the head and face as he passed through the intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than confronting the attackers, FS sought safety and later reported seeing approximately six men fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, the suspects escaped by jumping over walls surrounding nearby buildings before disappearing into the surrounding neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
