Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A fight ensued between a DCI officer and his counterpart from the Kenya Police Service as the latter tried to effect an arrest.<\/p>\n

According to a police report seen by Kenyans.co.ke on Saturday, May 1, the traffic officer Moses Kisiria had flagged down DCI officer Nicholas Kiptoo who was driving a blue Subaru car but after declining to stop a hot pursuit ensued.<\/p>\n

Kisiria\u2019s attempt to block the road using his police motorcycle was futile as Kiptoo hit the bike with his car, pushing it off the road and sped off.<\/p>\n

The pursuit continued up to Karen Country Club where the driver parked his vehicle off the road and a physical confrontation started.<\/p>\n

A video seen by Kenyans.co.ke showed motorists witnessing the fight as the DCI sleuth gave demands before his arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not going, unless you take me to Karen DCI,\u201d Kiptoo shouted repeatedly while trying to wrestle out of the traffic officer\u2019s hold.<\/p>\n

Karen police station was alerted by members of the public who witnessed the scuffle and the duty officer rushed to the rider’s rescue.<\/p>\n

The police report stated that Kisiria had flagged down the driver after noticing an unusual driving pattern which signaled that something was wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoses Kisiria was on traffic check duties along Magadi road when he noticed a motor vehicle reg no.KBM 149F Subaru saloon which was being driven in a zigzag manner from Ongata Rongai towards Kiserian general direction,\u201d read the report.<\/p>\n

The DCI officer was subjected to a breathalyzer test and found to be drunk at 0.49mg\/l. The officer has since been placed in custody and is being processed to appear in court on Monday, May 3.<\/p>\n

Kiptoo will be charged with driving under influence of alcohol and assaulting a police officer.<\/p>\n

He will also be charged with failing to comply with the directive to stop his vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cA driver who fails to comply with any reasonable signal given by a police officer in uniform requiring the driver to stop the vehicle before the barrier commits an offense and is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twelve months or to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand shillings or to both,\u201d Section 65 (2) of the National Police Service Act reads.<\/p>\n
