Residents of Kebirigo in Nyamira county on Wednesday evening watched a free wrestling match after a man descended on his neighbour accusing him of stealing his timbers.
Witnesses said Jared Nyarige stormed Alex Orina's home starting beating him up while his wife and children watched.
"It was at 6 pm when Nyarige stormed Orina's homestead and found him milking his cow. Nyariba without explaining what the problem was he started throwing kicks and blows to Orina," said a witness Brian Mose.
Mr Mose said members of the public responded to the screams made by Orina's wife and children.
"Were it not members of the public, Orina could have been dead by now. Upon questioning Nyarige why he was beating him up he revealed that Orina together with other three men stole his timbers from his timber yard," said Mose.
Area assistant chief Elijah Gwaro said the matter is under probe.
"Orina is yet to admit whether he is the one who stole the timbers but, the matter is being investigated," he noted.
The chief urged residents not to fight carelessly but, use peaceful ways to address issues.
