Two thugs met their match on Thursday night when their ventures sent them to attack an off duty General Service Unit (GSU) officer who was headed back to the camp in the company of two ladies.

Before the incident, the GSU officer who happens to be an instructor at the GSU Training School had gone to Mihang’o trading centre in Embakasi East, to relax after a day’s work.


After unwinding, the officer got on his way home in the company of two ladies before the two criminals arrived on a boda boda and accosted them.

The two ladies who were in the officer's company took off, leaving him behind to face the hoodlums alone.

A serious fight ensued and the officer unleashed part of the martial arts skills he gained in his colourful career that spans over 10 years.

In a scene that looked like one that was taken straight out of a Jackie Chan movie, the officer rearranged the dental formula of the criminal with precise kicks and punches that sent him sprawling on the ground.

On seeing the events that unfolded before them, the other criminal drew a long knife with which he stabbed the officer. 

Wounded but wise, the officer saw no point in engaging the criminals further in hand-to-hand combat and fled and went for backup.

By the time the officer returned with reinforcement, the criminals had long gone and all that was recovered were two canines and premolar teeth that told the story of what had ensued at the scene.


The officers also recovered a black wig that belonged to one of the ladies who accompanied the GSU officer.

The injured officer was rushed to Ruai Hospital for treatment.

Preliminary investigations revealed the two criminals had earlier staged two separate attacks in Embakasi and Njiru areas where they robbed innocent members of the public of their valuables, including money and mobile phones.

Detectives based in Njiru have launched a manhunt for the suspects and are urging all medical service providers within the area to look out for any male patients with dislocated jaws and missing teeth.
