A 20-year-old woman sustained multiple injuries after she was attacked by hyena in Makueni County.
The woman, who is currently undergoing treatment at the Machakos Level Five Hospital, was allegedly thrown out of a moving vehicle plying the Nairobi-Mombasa highway on June 30, 2018.
Irene Mbithe was allegedly given a lift in a truck from Mlolongo to Mombasa only for the men to turn against her and abandoned her on the highway.
Mbithe claims the men wanted to rape her but she refused before they threw her out near the Tsavo East National Park.
While at the park, the woman was attacked by the hungry hyena, making her lose a hand and her an eye.
Police officers from Mtito Andei Police Station who were on patrol in the area heard her screams near the park and rushed to the scene.
They found her writhing in pain before they rescued her from the hungry animal.
Mbithe was rushed to Makindu Hospital where she was admitted after sustaining the injuries.
Her relatives, later, requested to transfer her to the Machakos Level Five Hospital.
Police have confirmed the matter, saying investigations are underway to unmask the men behind the incident.
Police have since commenced investigations to establish who abandoned her in the middle of the night.
