He is surrounded by onlookers and a lady who seems to be giving him first aid.
According to Ma3route on Twitter, the tout threw the passenger off a speeding bus in Ruiru bypass. The bus belonged to Lopha company.

The image elicited mixed reactions from a section of Kenyans who called on relevant authorities to act swiftly.
While most called out the tout, others castigated the onlookers for not rushing the man to a nearby health facility.
Others criticized the passengers onboard for not standing in solidarity with the man when he was pushed off a moving vehicle.
