“My husband rushed and rescued me by grabbing the man and pushing him outside. Unfortunately, he escaped,” Nambooze said.

A senior police officer has confirmed the incident, saying: “We recorded statements from relevant witnesses. The police have also embarked on viewing CCTV footage with an aim of identifying the rider.”
