A junior official at a State department had an unbelievably lucky break recently after he was arrested along Langata Road for drink-driving.

As he contemplated his next move, a hyena emerged from nowhere and sent the officers scampering for safety.

It was a sight to behold as the officers, who had just landed their “meal” abandoned the mission and ran towards their car.

The man drove off in the opposite direction, laughing all the way home.
