A police officer was stabbed three times while arresting a suspect in Nairobi’s Kayole area
A police officer was stabbed three times while arresting a suspect in Nairobi’s Kayole area.
According to reports, the police officer was stabbed with a penknife in the left rib, right lower chin, and left thigh on Wednesday night.
A fellow officer on patrol with him was forced to shoot the suspect in the knee, wounding him in the botched robbery.
“The suspect was with his two accomplices when he was stabbed and wounded in the drama which prompted the other officer to shoot the suspect in the right thigh exiting from the back,” police said.
Police at the scene recovered the wooden-handled penknife and arrested his two other accomplices, who were in possession of 21 rolls of cannabis.
The injured officer and the suspect were taken to Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital for treatment and later discharged.

In a separate incident, police have launched investigations after gunmen raided a petrol station at Adams Arcade on Ngong Road in Nairobi and robbed the attendants of petroleum products worth about Sh500,000.
According to a police report, the gang arrived at the station in a car on Thursday morning and asked where they could get a cup of tea.
During the conversation, the gunmen got out of the car, pushed the attendant into one of the rooms, and ordered him to lie down before tying his hands from behind.
Three of his accomplices then joined him in the sales room, where a variety of oil products are sold, and packed several oil products into a sack and loaded it into their vehicle before driving off.
Police have since recovered CCTV from the station and a team of detectives are going through it to see if they can identify the gang behind the attack.
