In a video seen by Kenyans.co.ke, the Lamba Lolo artist is seen wriggling his arms and clutching his stomach in pain while trying to explain himself.
According to a statement on the group's official Twitter handle, "Swat was hanging out outside their apartment. At the same time, police officers were doing rounds handcuffing any young man they found outside.
"The musician and his friend ran away, entering a random apartment and hid there but people who lived there thought they were thieves."
Luckily the same police officers came to their rescue and released Swat who is recuperating at home.
The angry mob was asking for the youngsters' parents' contact in order to inform them of what their sons had been up to.
A section of Kenyans, however, took the opportunity to make jokes out of the incident.
