Jakarta – Some 200 people vandalized a police station in Indonesia's West Java, after police rejected their demand to hand over a murder suspect, police said Wednesday.

The mob attacked parts of the Cianjur district police on Monday evening, pelting stones after police refused to hand over the man suspected of having killed a motortaxi driver, First Sergeant Suhendi said.

"We have questioned more than 20 people but only eight have remained in our custody," Suhendi said. He said the mob wanted to deal with the man on their own.

Three of the attackers and nine policemen were injured, a staff member at the police post's detective unit said. The man wanted by the mob was suspected of having killed a motortaxi driver on December 13.
