Goons attacked and burnt a bus along Ngong Road, Nairobi on Tuesday, in the wake of fresh protests called by Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
Police used teargas to disperse the group that had gathered on the road in a bid to restore calm.
Some youths at the scene said those behind the attack are not from the area.
They say the attackers arrived in groups and looked organized. They then threw petrol bombs they had onto an oncoming bus as the driver tried to turn and escape in vain.
Police arrived at the scene minutes later but did not salvage the bus. It was burnt beyond repair.
The goons continued to cause mayhem on the road headed towards Junction as more police were deployed to disperse them.
Anti-riot police officers had been deployed as several business premises closed ahead of the Azimio protests.
This is as businesses remained closed in the CBD with many fearing there would be attacks.
