Two police officers were injured and a GSU officer arrested after a confrontation during an operation to arrest a suspect at a bar in Kathonzweni, Mwingi East, Kitui County.
According to a police report,Constable Felix Mugambi and Constable Kelvin Irungu from Kathonzweni Police Post had gone to Village Inn Bar and Restaurant to arrest a suspect linked to a case of malicious damage to a motor vehicle reported on September 19.
The officers encountered two Kenya Police Service officers, identified as Constable Collins Maluki Muthangya and Constable Eric Kiema, who allegedly resisted and blocked the arrest.
The two officers are also accused of assaulting their colleagues and helping the main suspect, reportedly their relative, evade arrest.
Mugambi sustained injuries to the head and chin, while Irungu complained of whole-body pains.
Police said Kiema attempted to snatch a G3 rifle from Irungu during the confrontation, sustaining injuries to his left thumb and head in the process.
AP officers later reinforced the team, leading to the arrest of the GSU officer and two suspects.
The suspects were treated before being escorted to Nguni Police Station, where they were placed in lawful custody in stable condition.
Efforts to trace another suspect were ongoing.
