The incident elicited massive reactions with police accused of being arrogant and rough especially when dealing with petty offenders.
Meanwhile, the National Police Service recently launched a nationwide crackdown for violators of Covid-19 guidelines set by the government.
The move is aimed at enhancing public safety and reducing spread of the Covid-19 virus.
While announcing the crackdown, Inspector General Hillary Mutyambai noted that anyone found guilty will be fined Sh20,000 on the spot as there are no adequate facilities to hold all offenders.
