Mataram – Police were still questioning four people Tuesday following a clash with police officers Monday night in Rasabou village, Bima regency, West Nusa Tenggara.

Dozens of local residents and officers were injured in the fight, which began following the arrest of a murder suspect Monday evening.

"Several witnesses are still being questioned," West Nusa Tenggara Police spokesperson, Tribudi Pangastuti, told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

On Monday, hundreds of Rasabou villagers staged a rally protesting the arrest of a local resident for his involvement in a murder. The villagers tried to block a road before throwing stones at the officers sent to disperse the crowd.

At least six officers and 12 villagers were injured in the clash. Police officers were still standing guard at the village Tuesday.
