A motorist caught on viral video assaulting a police officer is expected in court today.

The driver, who police identified as Njoroge, was arrested Sunday night as he allegedly planned to move out.

The incident happened after the driver was allegedly involved in a traffic incident at Mirema junction.

Police said the driver was with another occupant in a salon car when they made a wrong U-turn at about 8 am Sunday.

The driver veered off the road and got stuck in a ditch as police approached the scene.

A police report says Corporal Jacob Ogendo arrived at the scene and managed to help the two remove the car from the ditch and ordered the driver to head to Kasarani police station as he boarded the co-driver seat.

The funds were meant for the construction of Kasarani Girls High School.
