A video of a motorist assaulting a female security guard in a Nairobi estate has gone viral eliciting an angry reaction from the public.
In the video, a middle-aged man was filmed on Monday evening in Eastlands’s Komarock Phase 5A estate brutalising a fairly young woman for blocking him from driving into the premises.
The man, who is yet to be identified, slaps the helpless woman severally before pushing her to the ground.
It took the intervention of the passengers who were in his van led by an elderly woman to restrain the guard from her assailant.
