A Nairobi man has been charged in court after allegedly attacking a woman who rejected his romantic advances, in an incident that left her injured.

Court documents state that Kimathi Macharia assaulted V.A., a nail technician, on June 4, 2026 in the Chokaa area of Njiru Sub-County, Nairobi County.

The complainant was walking home at about 9:30pm when she was allegedly confronted by Macharia, who had earlier proposed a relationship which she declined.

Angered by her refusal, he is said to have demanded an explanation before she walked away.

Prosecutors allege that Macharia, who was carrying alcohol, poured it over her head and body before grabbing her, forcing her to the ground, and repeatedly kicking and punching her.
