“As the nduthi man pondered his next move, the enraged man whipped out a firearm and fired at him instead, making him flee the scene for dear life. The rider reported the incident at Syokimau police station and our officers responded swiftly,” the DCI said.
It was later established that the man was a military doctor who was armed with a glock pistol and 42 rounds of 9mm calibre.
