JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - A man identified by the initials RS (44), who kicked a woman at Senayan City on Sunday (13/9/2026), was seen sitting with his family in front of a food stall in the food court.

Metro Jaya Police Public Relations Head, Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, said investigators also questioned RS’s relatives to get a full account of the incident.

“So far, steps have been taken to question several witnesses, including the suspect and relatives present at the scene,” Budi said during a press conference at the Metro Jaya Police headquarters on Friday (18/9/2026).

RS was arrested in the early hours at his residence in Penjaringan, North Jakarta. Investigators are still reviewing RS’s statements and collecting evidence.

The exact reason why RS kicked the victim, who he did not know, is yet unknown.

However, early examinations indicate that RS was not under the influence of alcohol at the time.

“The motive is still under investigation as he was only secured in the early morning hours,” Budi added.

Earlier reports highlighted a CCTV video showing a man kicking a woman in the dining area of Senayan City Mall going viral on social media.

In the footage, a woman wearing a white shirt is first seen standing in line at a food stall.

Suddenly, a man in a black shirt sitting behind her kicks her back forcefully, causing her to fall forward and collide with a person in front of her.

The man was also seen yelling at the woman.

After being kicked, the woman got up looking confused, glancing left and right before leaving the scene.
