He was rushed to Aga Khan hospital, where he is receiving treatment in fair condition.
Anwar is not new to controversy, thanks to his never-ending drama and collision with the law.
Not once or twice has he had a brush with the law since he was elected in 2017 on a Jubilee ticket.
He is also known to have a sharp tongue, especially on his social media pages, always ready to confront anyone who dares criticise him.

Soon after being elected, he was accused of assaulting a city mall security officer after declining to pay a Sh50 parking fee.
In 2019, Anwar was on the receiving end after being attacked by unknown assailants at a popular club in Nairobi in the company of former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s daughter, Saumu Mbuvi.
The two lovers, however, had a bitter falling out early this year, with Saumu accusing the former Senator of assaulting her.

The mother of two shared a picture on Instagram, showing her injured face. She said the youthful politician almost killed her.
“These are the things he did to me… he almost killed me. I will forever fight for women to stand for their rights. Never allow a man to be violent to you,” she stated.
In October, the senator was involved in a gun drama that injured a woman.
When asked about the incident, Anwar claimed he was attacked at a hotel and was forced to shoot in the air to scare away his attackers.
