Sounds of wails were heard even as the supporters left the venue, bringing the rally to a halt.
Barely an hour after the incident, Rigathi took to Twitter to condemn the violence.
"Any person who thinks of using our unemployed youths to cause violence is primitive and will be ashamed by the resounding Kenya Kwanza victory in the next 24 days.
"Thank you Mutuati, Igembe North for making it clear that your support for the Hustler Nation can't be changed," the legislator said.
