Knife-wielding man shot in suspected bank robbery

Police in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, shot and injured a man on Tuesday morning during a suspected bank robbery in a suburb outside the city centre.

Three people, including a customer and security guards, were rushed to hospital after being stabbed by the suspect, according to local media reports.

The reports say the suspect was shot by police officers manning the branch of Equity Bank.

He was taken to hospital for treatment, a local police boss is quoted as saying by the Daily Nation news site.

The bank has since been closed as police investigations continue.
