Justus Kamoja, the man who was captured on CCTV assaulting a female security guard at a Komarock estate has been arrested.

"The 30-year-old suspect will be arraigned in court once necessary police action is complete. Many thanks to all those that contacted us," Directorate of Criminial Investigations said on Monday in a tweet.

Colleagues of the victim, identified as Damaris, said the suspect refused to have his details verified, and instead attacked the guard and sped off after forcibly opening the gate.

The incident occurred on Sunday, November 24, 2019, at Komarock Phase 5A Estate in Nairobi.

When the video was shared online, it sparked outrage among Kenyans who decried the rising cases of violence against women in the workplace.
