A 34-year-old Chinese national identified as LQ caused a disturbance in a residential area and at a gas station in Pandak Bandung Village, Kediri District, Tabanan, Bali, shouting and acting erratically without apparent reason.

A disturbing incident occurred in Pandak Bandung Village, Kediri District, Tabanan, Bali, when a 34-year-old Chinese national identified only as LQ reportedly became erratic without apparent cause in both a residential area and a local gas station, alarming nearby residents.
According to Merry Yolanda Baransano, Head of the Information Technology, Intelligence and Enforcement Sub-Section at Tabanan Immigration Office, the incident began following a public complaint on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. LQ was reported to have shouted and acted uncontrollably in a housing complex in Pandak Bandung Village before moving to a nearby Pertamina gas station, where he continued the erratic behavior.
His unexplained actions caused fear among drivers and residents queuing for fuel, prompting them to report the incident to Kediri Police Station. Immigration officers and police responded and secured the man.
Authorities suspect LQ may be suffering from emotional or psychological distress. For the sake of public order and safety, he was transferred to the Denpasar Immigration Detention House (Rudenim) in Jimbaran on Sunday, October 25, 2026, where he is undergoing detention procedures and further legal processing under immigration law.
Things to Consider
If you encounter someone behaving erratically or aggressively in public, avoid direct confrontation, maintain distance, and promptly contact local police (dial 110) or village authorities (desa adat). If caught near a disturbance at a gas station or residential area, move to a safe location and, if possible, document the situation on your phone. Foreign residents are advised to save their embassy or consulate's emergency contact information in case assistance is needed.
