A Nation Media Group cameraman was assaulted on Friday evening as enthusiastic administration police officers enforced the curfew order two hours ahead of time.
A video showed an AP kicking the Peter Wainaina from the back as he walked away from him.
The cameraman, who was only armed with a video camera, was heard pleading with the officer not to assault him.
Kenya has implemented a dusk to dawn curfew to fight the novel coronavirus.
The nationwide curfew starts at 7pm and ends at 5am.
This is the police assaulting @ntvkenya’s Peter Wainaina. Totally unacceptable. Journalists must be allowed to serve the public @NPSOfficial_KE @ODPP_KE pic.twitter.com/aPo9SglMqa
