High-ranking police officer's wife filmed attacking airport security in Indonesia

Read at the ABC News , 6/07/2017


A mobile phone recording of a woman assaulting airport security has gone viral and made news across Indonesia.

The 46-year-old Indonesian wife of a high-ranking police officer was apparently so appalled at being asked to remove her watch and place it in an X-ray machine that she attacked aviation security officers.

The woman's daughter was seen trying to stop her.

Joice Warouw, who is married to an Indonesian Police Brigadier, was being investigated by police after the incident at the Sam Ratulangi Airport in Manado in North Sulawesi.

Indonesian Transport Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said he regretted the assault, and the woman will be legally pursued.

The alleged victims of the attack, Jemy Hantouw and Amelia Magreani, have been interviewed by police.
