A driver was caught on camera assaulting a traffic police officer in broad daylight along Kamiti Road, Nairobi. The dramatic events unfolded at Mirema junction, where the rogue motorist, alongside a passenger, made an illegal U-turn early Sunday morning.
The situation escalated when the driver lost control, veering off the road and getting stuck in a ditch. Corporal Jacob Ogendo, who was on duty nearby, arrived at the scene to assist.
After helping the driver and his passenger free the car, Ogendo ordered the driver to head to Kasarani police station, boarding the car as a passenger.
However, the driver had other plans. Just a few meters down the road, opposite Quickmart supermarket, he abruptly pulled the handbrake and drew a sword from under his seat. Alarmed, Corporal Ogendo jumped out of the car to avoid injury, sustaining minor injuries in the process.
The driver then followed Ogendo outside and began to physically assault him, punching and kicking the officer repeatedly until he fell onto the road. Bystanders filmed the attack, capturing the brutality of the assault.
The violence only ceased when other motorists intervened. The attacker fled the scene, but his accomplice was apprehended. The police communication gadget that was in the car was taken by the fleeing driver.
Corporal Ogendo was immediately taken to a private hospital and later transferred to Mama Lucy Hospital for further treatment. Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei confirmed that a manhunt had been launched to capture the assailant.
The breakthrough came when police traced the suspect to his girlfriend's house, where he was hiding. He was promptly arrested and is expected to face multiple charges for his actions.
