Frustrations got the better of a man who was quarantined as he kicked a stationary car leading to him breaking his leg.

The man who was quarantined at the Co-operative University of Kenya in Karen was recorded in a video that surfaced online on Friday, April 4.

He was filmed walking in the parking lot before approaching a stationary Mitsubishi Pajero and kicking it on the front bumper.

The force of his kick left him with a deep cut on his leg that bled profusely and also had him in deep pain as he broke his leg.

In the video the man opened up on his frustrations, "I wanted to deliver a message at the gate, I've been here since Tuesday, I have pressure from family and I have kids here.

"I feel bad for them, let them take them somewhere else, I can continue staying here even if it is for one month, no problem.

"If they know they are negative, why are they staying here, let them go home. They did not travel, I'm the one who travelled, they just took them from my house.

"The way they took me, it's like I came with a disease to Kenya but I cooperated with them. They are pressurising me, my family is pressuring me."

The man went on to complain that he was tested on Tuesday but they are still yet to get the results and they have been watching the numbers grow day by day

The man revealed that his leg was broken, "I did not know this would happen, I was just walking and jumping a little then did that slightly and saw my leg look like this, I was also surprised. I did not know I would break my leg."

Ministry of Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe had issued a directive that all passengers who had jetted into the country be placed on mandatory quarantine.

Coronavirus is quickly spreading in the country. As of Friday, April 3 there were a total of 122 cases with four fatalities.
