Shocking video captures police officer assaulting woman at roadblock – VIDEO


A video of a semi-nude woman being assaulted by a female police officer at a roadside has gone viral on social media, eliciting mixed reactions.

In the 19-second clip, the unidentified lady, whose breasts appear to have popped out as a result of the struggle – initially appears to be resisting arrest from a policewomen.

The video was tweeted on Sunday evening by Marie Obara who claimed the incident had happened to her earlier in the day.

Other versions claim the incident happened in Kericho.

Undeterred, the officer pulls the lady behind on two separate occasions as the victim hangs her hands on the window of a vehicle with determination.

This incident happened in full view of two other Police officers – a male and female.

In between the scuffle, the aggrieved lady continuously pleads “niache (leave me alone)”, but then her pleas evidently fall on deaf ears.

Also, a voice of someone not captured on camera is heard pleading “that is not the way”, but still, this doesn’t seem to deter the police officer, who for a moment turns in a seemingly violent nature to justify her actions.

In her defence, the lady later posted on Twitter that she was apprehended for “requesting some information from the police officers”, a message she’s captioned with the #PoliceBrutality hashtag.

Here are some of the mixed reactions on social media:
