Two American activists have revealed that they were attacked at a waiting lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
The two, Brittany Packnett and Symone Sanders, were waiting for their flight back to the United States when a British man walked in and assaulted one of them.
Recounting the ordeal on Twitter, Packnett revealed that the man was speaking loudly and cursing at someone on the phone.
According to her, the man looked heavily intoxicated. A lounge attendant asked the man to keep it down but he could not hear any of it.
It is then that Packnett leaned over and politely asked the man to speak in a low tone.
He refused to heed to her call and began speaking louder.
“We look over again, and now he’s speaking in another language and giving us the middle finger. Mind you, we are sitting on the same bench,” she narrated.
In an unlikely turn of events, the man stood up and threw a bottle of water at the nearest person who was Packnett.
He then pushed her down and lunged at her.
Here are some photos from the incident:
