A 19-year-old student who allegedly assaulted a police officer along Kamiti Road and robbed him of a communication gadget was manhandled by police, the court has heard.
Ian Njoroge who appeared before Milimani Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi on Tuesday was arrested hours later in Kayole, Nairobi.

Okatch further informed the court that the officers who arrested Njoroge at his mother’s house manhandled him, causing him to faint twice.
At the police station, the lawyer stated that the officers beat Njoroge, and his clothes were stained with blood.
“The officers took photos. He is young and still innocent. Please grant him bail,” Okatch urged the court.
The court also heard that the officers confiscated Njoroge’s mobile phone and student ID.
