A woman in Zimmerman is seriously nursing injured after being pushed out of a moving vehicle along thika road.
Hanah Waiganjo says that she got into an argument with the matatu conductor over the fare she was supposed to pay, and the conductor then pushed her out of the vehicle.
According to the family of the injured relatives, the incident happened on Tuesday around the roysambu area, and the family allege that their kin asked to be dropped at TRM. That's when the conflict started.
“Alituambia kwamba alikuwa anaomba ashukishwe TRM… huyo conductor akamwambia hapa huezi lipa hiyo pesa, basi akamwambia ju nimekupa pesa, kata pesa yako unipatie change. Hata hakumpea change, akamrusha gari ikiwa kwa kasi akaanguka akapata majeraha mabaya ...,” says Cecilia Njoki, a family member.

The conductor of the matatu fled after the woman fell from the vehicle, but the irate passengers demanded the driver take the lady to the hospital.
"Huyo driver alikuwa anataka kukimbia wakazuiliwa na management wasiendee kabla hawajajua hali ya mgonjwa. Kabla hawajaondoka ndio my uncle akaja akajulisha polisi hiyo gari ndio imemgonga na polisi wakachukua gari ikapelekwa Kasarani Police Station,” added Cecilia Njoki.
At the facility, doctors said that she had severe injuries and referred her to St. Peter's Orthopaedic, Muthiga.
"Jana ndio alitoka theatre, alifungwa mkono, amepigwa picha ya kichwa ako na deep cut kwa kichwa na tumbo,” said Njoki.
"Sasa hatujui imeachiliwa on which ground ... Kama sisi familia ya Anne tunataka haki ipatikane kwa sababu akirushwa nje ya gari hakuwa na makosa,” she says.
According to Kasarani Police Chief Muthoni Wahome, the vehicle was impounded but released after a security check. According to the police chief, the arrested driver of the matatu, Boniface Mwangi, was released on a Ksh.10,000 police bond.
The Kasarani Police Commander stated that they are awaiting the victim's official response to the incident before taking any further action.
