Kenyans have raised concerns over a viral video that has circulated online of a woman who was thrown out of car, a Mercedes Benz in Nairobi today.
According to the video, a co-driver is seen dragging the woman out of the car after the driver pulled over by the roadside and throwing her violently to the ground.
Dressed in a short black skirt and a black top, the lady struggled to regain her footing after she was pushed onto the pavement.
As this was happening, an unidentified individual stood by, holding the car door as the man assaulted the woman, displaying a seemingly nonchalant attitude
As the woman lay on the ground attempting to recover, the motorist swiftly returned to his seat and sped away. The unidentified man also maintained his composure and stared at the woman who appeared helpless.
The video elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans online who questioned the motive behind the motorist’s actions.

“Can’t he drop her off at her home? Why are people so cruel? Anyway, let us respect ourselves. If you have your stuff going on you can’t be treated like this.”
On the other hand, others came to the motorist’s aid and sought to whether the duo was involved in a heated altercation before the incident was captured on camera.
“It’s a grey area. Ideally, he’d have left her in a safe place but it also seems she has a part to play. Seems she had refused to exit the car,” another user suggested online.
Another motorist also weighed in on the matter, narrating how he was almost jailed for rushing to the rescue of a stranded female stranger.
I offered (a lady) a lift from Bomas to town. She said she had ordered a taxi but her phone went off. Upon arrival at Moi Avenue where she was supposed to go, she demanded I pay her or she would shout that I had ‘sexually assaulted’ her
Police have however not released a statement nor the individuals arrested over the incident. Kenyans called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigation to swiftly take action to bring the perpetrators to book.
