Man bravely tries to stop fight in SCBD club, gets part of his nose bitten off

You have to be really brave to try and break up a bar brawl. Recently, one young man’s brave attempt to stop such a fight led to his losing a nose, literally.

On Sunday February 7, 25-year-old Reiner was casually hanging out with his friends at Potato Head Garage in SCBD, when all of a sudden one of his friends started arguing with a stranger.

Renier then tried to break up the fight, only for another stranger, who has been identified in the media as Arsha Algadri, to take offense and bring the fight to Reiner.

The two then brawled briefly until, shockingly, Arsha pinned Reiner down on the floor and bit off part of his nose.

Not much was known about what happened afterwards, but Arsha turned himself in to the police yesterday and admitted his crime.

“We have named Arsha a suspect and he has cooperatively turned himself in,” said AKBP Eko Hadi Santoso, head of the Mobile Detective sub-unit at the Jakarta Metro Police’s Public Crimes Investigation Directorate, as quoted by Detik.

The police say they’re still investigating the matter further before any charges will be made.

As for Reiner, it turned out that he’s a close acquaintance of mother-daughter actresses Sophia Latjuba and Eva Celia. Sophia posted this Instagram photo three days ago to give an update on Renier’s condition:

 

Maaf untuk postingan image ini but you need to know how heartbreaking it is to see this happening to someone yg sudah seperti anak saya sendiri. Get well soon Reiner. We love you very much #Repost @evacelia First and foremost, I would like to apologize for the graphic image. This is Reiner. Never have i seen the kind of friendship that our mothers have. They have been best friends since high school and are inseparable even until now. Inseparable is an understatement for I truly believe they are soulmates. My mom gave birth to me 3 months after Reiner was born. Ever since then he and I were raised together. It’s safe to say that Reiner is my oldest friend, my brother whom I love so dearly. A couple of days ago, I woke up to the disturbing news that Reiner got into a horrific fight at a well-known club in SCBD: his nose and his eye brows were LITERALLY bitten off. I was extremely saddened, but at the same time I was upset that this could happen to someone so close to me. According to everyone who was there, sure enough Reiner was only trying to separate a fight between one of his friends and this other guy that he doesn’t even know. He underwent a 5 hour surgery, but that was only the first part of the procedure. He has to go through three more surgeries until his nose is fully reconstructed. Please keep him in your prayers, guys. Get well soon ya, ne… Yang tabah dan semoga pemulihannya lancar. We’re here for you.

As mentioned in the post, Reiner apparently had to undergo a 5-hour reconstruction surgery, and will need to have several more surgeries before his nose is fully reconstructed.
