The assault occurred around 1am when a group of assailants on motorcycles launched a sudden attack against the officers. In the course of the raid, the assailants managed to steal two loaded AK-47 rifles along with their ammunition.\n\nThe police officers were left with severe cuts on the back of their heads and injuries to their hands. The incident report filed at Ruai Police Station stated that the officers were promptly rushed to Reale Hospital in Utawala for medical attention. One of the officers was unresponsive upon arrival, while the other was conscious but still suffering from similar injuries.\n\nPolice investigators suspect that the attackers used a sharp object during the assault, as indicated in a portion of the police report. The stolen rifles, each loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition, were taken by the attackers and remain unaccounted for. In response to the incident, the police issued a security alert, urging officers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity that could help in the recovery of the stolen firearms and the apprehension of the perpetrators.\n\nThe Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Ruai is leading the investigation into the matter, with police pledging to provide further updates as the case progresses.",
