Fighting between students at two rival universities
15 Oct 2008
Fighting between students at two rival universities -- Indonesian Christian University (UKI) and Bung Karno University (UBK) -- broke out in central Jakarta on 15 October 2008, prompting police officers to step in and break up the clashes by firing warning shots in the air. The incident began at approximately 1530 local time and was initiated when numerous UKI students chased a UBK student. Later, dozens of UBK students joined the fray. Two cars parked outside of the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital were damaged by rocks being thrown by the two groups; there were no reports of injuries.
