In a viral video that made rounds on social media, one man was spotted beating up a police officer by raining blows and kicking him.
A police report obtained by Kenyans.co.ke has revealed that the officer had attempted to stop the motorist from making a wrong U-turn and obscuring traffic.
However, he hit a curb and stopped, giving the officer an opportunity to enter the vehicle and direct the driver to the police station.
The motorist, however, drove off for a short distance before unleashing a sword from under his seat forcing the police officer out of the vehicle.
The motorist then continued his assault on the police officer, beating him to a pulp until the officer landed in a ditch.
He was later rescued by the public along the road and taken to a health facility nearby.
However, the Police have reported that he was transferred to Mama Lucy Hospital for further treatment.
The main suspect in the 8:00 am incident is yet to be arrested and is still at large. However, one accomplice was arrested and is aiding the police in investigations.
Incidentally, cases of police officers being assaulted and even killed in some cases are not new.
On April 29, a female police officer was on the receiving end of a brutal assault at the hands of her colleague at Gongoni Police Station in Kilifi County.
It was reported that the officer had requested her colleague to hand her a file, which he declined and resulted in him descending on her with blows and slaps.
The female police officer sustained injuries on her face, particularly her lower jaw.
