Terrible moment as husband picks up his wife and throws her off a ferry in Indonesia

Surveillance footage shows the horrific moment a man lifts his wife and throws her off the side of a ferry crossing Indonesia’s Sundra Strait.

Video released by local police on February 24 shows the man walking behind his wife, picking her up and trying to throw her over the ship’s side.

The woman is desperately holding on to the railing so that she doesn’t fall into the water.

Other passengers then emerge to see or hear what happened and rush over to help the woman back on deck.

Bakauheni Port Police Chief Ridho Rafika said the incident happened on the Shalem passenger ferry from Merak to Bakauheni.

Police also reported that the man’s family said they did not report the incident because the husband was suffering from a mental disorder.

In 2018, a father-of-three was charged with attempted murder after attempting to throw [his girlfriend] over the side of a cruise ship.’

David James Fysh, 46, has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges after allegedly trying to get into the Tasman Sea through his partner following a dispute.

It’s not uncommon for people to survive if they fall overboard.

In November last year, a missing Carnival Cruise passenger was found by the US Coast Guard with symptoms of hypothermia and shock after falling off the side of a cruise ship near the Gulf of Mexico.

The 28-year-old man survived 15 hours in the water before the Coast Guard found him about 20 miles south of Southwest Pass in Louisiana.

Ferries run constantly between these busy ports, taking around two hours from start to finish

The Sundra Strait is a water passage that separates the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra

Merak is a busy port in the Puloi Merak district of the city of Cilegon, Banten, in northwestern Java.

Bakauheni is a city in the southern part of Lampung, Indonesia, and the region’s busiest port.

There are plans to connect Merak and Bakauheni with a Sundra Strait Bridge to reduce reliance on ferries going back and forth.

A drive from Merak to Bakauheni takes about two hours.
