Apparently, the video was made halfway into the brawl hence what actually triggered the trotro driver and his mate to beat the police officer is currently unclear.
In the video, the trotro driver and his mate can be clearly seen physically assaulting the police officer.
They both pinned him to the floor and landed a few punches on him for some time before the police officer could get up on his feet to stop the beatings but was still unsuccessful in the attempt.
For some time, the witnesses are seen remaining distant and watching the cop endure his agony on his own until he was able to stand up.
Several of the bystanders later moved closer to convince the trotro driver and his mate to stop beating the police officer.
Watch the video below.
Meanwhile, some comments on social media suggest that the police officer arrested the driver for a road traffic offence and when he was taking them to the office the driver refused to stop at the office.
And took him to a different location and started beating him. The driver and mate are said to have been arrested though.
