Three police officers in Ciamis, West Java, were assaulted by a mob after they killed a motorcyclist in a hit-and-run car accident.

In the accident, which occurred at about 8 p.m. on Thursday, the officers hit the motorcyclist in their patrol car. Instead of stopping to help, the officers attempted to flee the scene. However, a crowd that had gathered prevented them from leaving and proceeded to beat them.

The attack ended after community elders intervened, and the officers, whose identities have not been released, were taken to the hospital with the body of the motorcyclist. The Ciamis Police declined to comment on the incident.
