A scary piece of footage showing an attempted armed robbery in Kikuyu is the latest trending topic on social media.
In the clip that emerged on Thursday evening, two daring men on a motorcycle slowly approach a kid and a teenager who were recording TikTok videos across a street before one of them quickly jumps off the bike and targets the mobile phone.
Loud cries can be heard in the background as the guy armed with a knife struggled to grab the smartphone away from the terrified kid.
The video was uploaded on social media by a Kenyan named Paul Gitau who only gave scanty details on the shocking incident.
“A close call. Just happened in Kikuyu steel rolling mills. Robbery in broad daylight,” he wrote on Twitter.
