Agnes Wang'ombe, 24, was walking along the dimly lit Kinuthia Mbugua Road in Nakuru town when a car suddenly pulled by her side.

The driver quickly stepped out and grabbed her, attempting to push her into the car. She fought back, kicking and screaming. The man gave up, shoved her back and drove off. But not before grabbing her mobile phone.
