JAKARTA, May 16 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian police have arrested a man for bringing a knife at a police office in the country's capital following a series of suicide bombings in recent days, police said here on Wednesday.
The man was captured on Tuesday evening at a mosque of Jakarta Police's vehicle registration center in West Jakarta, spokesman of Jakarta police Senior Commissioner Argo Yuwono said.
"When an officer was calling out to him, the suspect threw something (the knife) outside from the mosque," he said.
The police confiscated the knife as evidence and took the suspect to general crime directorate in the city for investigation, said Yuwono.
