A man has been charged with breaking the neck of another man after complaining that the reveler disturbed him while dancing in a club.

Dennis Njuguna Gathogo is said to have unlawfully done grievous harm to Obimbo Morgan on August 19 at a club in Utawala, after he accused him of not giving him space to dance well.

That day the complainant and his friends were said to have been enjoying their drink while the accused was also drinking not far away from them.

At around midnight, the complainant left to go to the washrooms and as he was returning he found the accused dancing on the floor thus blocking his way.

It is reported that the complainant tapped him to give way twice, but he turned violent and punched him on the face and neck claiming to have been disturbed while dancing.

According to police, the complainant is said to have suffered serious injuries on the neck that led to heavy bleeding via his mouth linked to internal injury.

Some revelers who witnessed the events unfolding managed to arrest the accused as the complainant was rushed to Nairobi Hospital for treatment.

The accused however denied the charges before chief magistrate Heston Nyaga and was released on a Sh30,000 cash bail or Sh50,000 surety bond. His case will be heard on November 22.
