A man was arrested after slapping a 7-year-old boy in Ruaraka causing perforations in his left eardrum. Narrating the shocking December 20 incident in a popular Facebook group, the boy’s grandmother said that the assault was prompted by the boy accidentally hitting his vehicle while playing with a tyre.
“He was playing with a tire when it went ahead of him and hit a stationary car within the compound belonging to one of their neighbours. When the man found out, instead of calling my nephew to discuss compensation if any was needed, he went to where Robin was and slapped him thrice,” wrote Wanjeri Nderu.
