A video of four police officers pinning a man on the ground with one of them kneeling on his chest is factual.
A man who filmed the clip confirmed that it happened at the Kasarani Stadium during a football match that took place on Wednesday, February 15.
The incident happened at around 3 pm.
The man who is a fan of one of the teams breached the security protocol and accessed the stand where the manager and players were.
“The match was between Mathare and Kariobangi Sharks. He jumped over the barrier and headed towards the Mathare stand. Two of the officers chased after him,” the witness stated.
He explained that the football fan was shielded from the cops by the team’s head coach who explained that it was a normal occurrence for sports fanatics.
However, the man was not pleased by the response of the police officers and insulted the cops.
The victim accused the police of wanting to solicit a bribe from him.
“He felt that the police were on his case for no reason and claimed that they just wanted to solicit a bribe from him. This rattled one of the officers who ordered his removal from the stadium,” the witness reported.
The victim tried to run away but was caught and pinned down.
One of the cops placed his knee on his chest and forced his club into his mouth to stop him from screaming.
As the other officers tried to hold him down, his clothes accidentally came off.
Fortunately for the victim, the scuffle was ended by an intervention from a senior police officer from the Kasarani Police Station.
