Police are investigating a case where a woman sustained fractures after jumping from the fourth floor of a building in Mihango, Kayole, Nairobi.
A suspect was
arrested after the woman claimed he allegedly tried to rape her in the house on Sunday
night, police said.
The woman told
police she was with the suspect in the house when a confrontation broke out.
She added the
suspect allegedly attempted to rape her prompting her to run to the balcony and later
jumped off to the ground floor.
Security guards at
the apartment picked up the woman and rushed her to the nearby hospital as
others detained the suspect and called the police.
Police said they
are investigating the incident. The team that visited the scene and the victim in the hospital said she had fractures on her legs.
Meanwhile, a
suspected thug was shot and injured in a confrontation with police following a
botched robbery in Majengo slums.
Police said they
recovered a homemade gun from the suspect.
According to
police, two suspects had confronted a woman at her hotel on Monday evening as
she closed for the day.
The two had posed
as customers before one of them drew a pistol and demanded the day’s
collection.
The woman told
police she managed to sneak out of the facility as the gunmen focused on other
customers who were present and alerted police on patrol.
The team rushed to
the scene, prompting a chase and shooting.
The officers said
they shot and injured one suspect who dropped a pistol and a kitchen knife.
He managed to
escape with injuries.
The police are
appealing to local clinics and hospitals to report any case of an injured man
seeking medical attention.
Police say they
have intensified operations in the city to address cases of violent robberies.
This has led to the arrest of tens of suspects, police said.
