A disturbing video emerged showing a female police officer assaulted by civilians along Kikuyu Road.
The video, which quickly went viral, captures a heated confrontation that escalated into violence, causing significant public concern and a traffic jam.
In the footage, the officer appears engaged in a struggle with several civilians. Amid the chaos, a woman pulls a man away from the scene, leaving the officer visibly distressed and wailing in pain.
Despite her evident distress, the officer soon picks up a projectile from the ground and attempts to chase after her assailants.
Onlookers intervened to prevent further escalation, restraining her from causing additional harm.
The incident has put the National Police Service (NPS) under scrutiny, raising questions about the relationship between law enforcement and civilians. Reactions on social media varied widely.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), urging Kenyans to respect police officers. He stressed that assaulting officers undermines their role in maintaining order and democracy.
Alai’s post ignited a debate online, with some echoing his call for respect towards the police.
One user, @hon_Makau, emphasized that mutual respect between the police and citizens is essential for a functional society.
Others, like @mundia_wachira, expressed frustration with perceived police impunity, arguing that citizens often feel powerless against unlawful actions by law enforcement.
