Lately there have been cases of people throwing bottles at each other and as silly at it sounds, a man almost lost his life this past weekend after he tried hitting Mike Sonko with a glass bottle. This happened during during a campaign meeting that was held in Mai Mahiu, Naivasha.

The Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko was apparently in the company of Nakuru Speaker Susan Kihika when this happened.

Anyway, things immediately turned sour when the bottle missed the senator and in a blink of an eye those standing next to the man (who threw the bottle) pounced on him with kicks and blows leaving him unconscious.

An eyewitness who had been watching the man from the start revealed that he had thrown a stone at first but since it did not hit the senator he opted for a bottle which almost hit the senator. He said,

“This time round he was spotted. Youths who were offering security turned their fury on him, beating him seriously, before he was taken to the police station,” said Njoroge.

The senior police officer while addressing the media said that the man severely hurt by the youth who left him from several parts of his body. However, the young man was rushed to hospital where he is currently admitted.
