In Kenya, a police officer has been scheduled for an emergency reconstructive surgery at Nairobi West Hospital after he was attacked by woman who bit off his right ear.

The said attacker is reported to have been in violation of the dawn-to-dusk curfew on Saturday night when the incident happened.

The unnamed officer, a sergeant, was walking to Bypass Patrol Base in Lang’ata at 8pm when he came across the woman. He stopped her to enquire were she was heading to at that time.
