Eleven people have been arrested on allegations that they seriously wounded Mombasa residents in an ambush on Sunday.
Ten people, most of them businessmen heading to Kongowea market, were injured in early morning attacks in Kisauni and Nyali constituencies by machete-wielding criminals.
The suspects are being held in Nyali.
“Some were arrested immediately after the attacks. We are questioning them before we produce them in court,” said Sub-county Police Commander Simon Thirikwa.
It is believed that a new gang called 86 Battalion was behind the attacks.
