A police officer and a Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) engineer are receiving treatment in hospital after a dispute at a bar in Mombasa’s Shimanzi area escalated into a stabbing incident.
The confrontation occurred at an entertainment establishment in Shimanzi, where the two men were reportedly drinking together before a disagreement broke out.
