Police are investigating an incident in which a woman sustained fractures after jumping from the fourth floor of a building in Mihango, Kayole, Nairobi. The woman alleged that she was attempting to escape an attempted rape when she made the desperate leap.
According to reports, the woman was in the house with the suspect when a confrontation erupted. She claimed the suspect attempted to assault her sexually, prompting her to flee towards the balcony. In a bid to escape, she jumped from the fourth floor to the ground floor.
Security guards stationed at the apartment complex responded swiftly, picking up the injured woman and rushing her to a nearby hospital for treatment. Others on the scene detained the suspect and contacted the police, who later arrested him for questioning.

Meanwhile, a suspected criminal was shot and injured during a confrontation with police following a failed robbery attempt in Majengo slums. Officers said they recovered a homemade gun from the suspect.
According to authorities, two suspects targeted a woman at her hotel on Monday evening as she was closing for the day. The individuals had posed as customers before one of them brandished a firearm and demanded the day’s earnings.
The woman managed to escape from the premises while the robbers were distracted by other customers and alerted police officers on patrol. Responding swiftly, the officers arrived at the scene, initiating a chase that resulted in a shooting incident.
During the altercation, one suspect was shot and dropped a pistol along with a kitchen knife before managing to escape despite his injuries. Authorities have since called upon local clinics and hospitals to report any cases of individuals seeking medical attention for gunshot wounds.
Police have intensified operations in the city to combat the rising cases of violent robberies. The ongoing crackdown has led to the arrest of multiple suspects, with authorities promising continued vigilance to ensure public safety.
