Even the robbing of taxi drivers, in Indonesia, is a rather laid back
affair. From the English language daily Indonesia Times, the tail end
of the report:

When they arrived at Sunter Lake, however, one of the suspected
passengers tangled the victim with a length of string.

The victim, who acknowledged that he got so panicky at the moment,
reportedly still had a chance to counter the suspects' attack. The two
suspects, however, kept on assaulting the driver from time to time.
