Police are investigating an incident where a driver was attacked and stabbed at least 11 times in a robbery incident near the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi.

The driver had dropped his boss at the airport to fly out of the country on October 4, 2025 and was driving out of the airport when he was confronted by suspected thieves.

It is not clear how they managed to stop him and get hold of him. He was found abandoned on the roadside with stab wounds in the chest and upper arm.

Police said he had been stabbed at least 11 times by the assailants, who escaped with his Nissan Note saloon car.

The car was, however, found abandoned in the Kwa Mwenje area, about a kilometer away from the scene of the attack a few meters from Mombasa Road.

Police said he had driven out of the airport and was headed to his house in Kangemi when the incident happened.

Police manning the airport entrance were informed of the incident and rushed there when they found the victim identified as Charles Kipchirchir, 40 lying in a ditch and bleeding profusely.

He had been robbed of the car and his Infinix mobile phone.

He was rushed to the Kenyatta National Hospital where he was admitted in a serious condition, police said.

Police said they are investigating the incident and no arrest has been made so far.

And a police officer was attacked and seriously wounded as he responded to a scene of crime in Madogo, Tana River County.

The officer had responded to the scene and found three men on a motorcycle before one of them attacked him using a sword. The attacker jumped onto their motorcycle and tried to escape the scene as the officer shot at them injuring him in the right ribs.

The motorcycle was recovered as the other accomplices managed to escape, police said.

The sword was also recovered. The officer and the suspect were admitted in hospital in a stable condition, police said.
