A chaotic scene erupted near Masinde Muliro grounds in Mathare, Nairobi, where the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party was holding a political rally.
A group of rowdy youth went on a rampage and burnt a vehicle that had allegedly knocked down a pedestrian in the area.
However, anti-riot officers, who had been deployed in the area ahead of the rally, used a water cannon to put out the fire before it consumed the entire vehicle.
