Police are investigating the alleged incident at the al-Muhajir Mosque in Bandung, West Java, during an early morning call for prayer.
An Australian has been arrested in Indonesia after allegedly spitting in the face of an imam during an early morning call to prayer at a mosque in West Java.
The website later reported McArthur had checked out of his room at the Pringgodani Guest House, opposite the mosque, about three hours after the alleged 6am incident.“He was picked up from Soetta [Soekarno-Hatta airport in Jakarta] and is now here [in Bandung police office] for questioning,” Budi Sartono, Bandung police chief, told reporters.
He allegedly spat at the man’s face and used “harsh words”. He then allegedly made a gesture to throw a punch, prompting the imam to run away.
