The police officers were allegedly attending a non-injury traffic accident along Kitengela road whenย one man confronted and wrestled one officer to the ground.

“The assailant claimed that the police officersย were blocking the road,” the report reads in part.

According to theย OBย record, the twoย officers called for reinforcement which responded and they consequently managed to contain the man.

“He was later identified asย Juma Ali Juma. He was then escorted to the station for assaulting the officer while on duty,” the statement continues.

Drama ensued later when about five of his colleaguesย stormed the station to rescue their colleague.

“Reportedly a commotion ensued where the report desk personnelย was felled by one of the rescuers,” the police recorded.

When another officer came to the rescue of the female colleague manning the report desk,ย he was reportedly roughed up and eventually overwhelmed sustaining an injury on the arm.

“The station was called to alarm and officers who responded fired in the air. No one was shot in the incident,” the police report concluded.

Nairobi Regional Commanderย Philip Ndoloย confirmed toย Capital FM Newsย that the arrested soldier had assaulted a traffic officer along Kitengela Road before he was arrested and detained.

โ€œThe soldiers most probably had been drinking and they did not appreciate what our officers were trying to do. As a result, there was a scuffle, but we handed them over to the military which will deal with them in their own way,โ€ Ndolo was quoted.
