A group of boda boda riders on Thursday stoned a motorist who sought refuge inside his car after he was accused of knocking down their colleague.

According to reports, the incident happened in the Kitengela area of Nairobi at around 6.10 pm.

In a video captured by an eyewitness, the rowdy mob was captured pelting stones at the car, causing severe damage to its windows and body.

The car, recorded positioned on top of a motorbike, was also parked on the wrong side of the road.

Some boda riders could be seen going around it, reportedly seeking a loophole to drag the endangered man out.

The irate mob, without fear of being captured on camera, also chanted and jeered at the motorist as they bayed for his blood. They then surrounded the car and called him to step outside to resolve the case, a call which he did not heed.

As the scuffle ensued, a traffic police officer who was at the scene was seen attempting to call for backup after he was unable to contain the crowd.

Moments later, other police officers arrived and secured the safety of the man before they dispersed the crowd.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that the man was driving under the influence when he allegedly knocked down a boda boda rider. Police were yet to confirm the same even as investigations into the incident commenced.
