Police arrested after the accidental shooting of a 15-year-old minor while trying to quell a mob in Ngong.

The minor was shot after the police rifle discharged a bullet hitting the boy in the abdomen leaving him with life-threatening injuries.

According to reports, the mob was pursuing a suspect accused of stabbing a woman three times, leaving her for dead.

The mob had cornered the suspect before authorities tried to rescue him which led to the shooting incident.

It was then the suspect, the one who had been stabbed and the boy were picked up and rushed to hospital.

The suspect was treated and discharged from Ngong Sub County Hospital while the boy and the first victim were referred to Kenyatta National Hospital for further treatment.
