Kamukunji police arrived at the scene and rescued Musyoka from the attackers, who continued to assault him even after he was unconscious.
He was later taken to Nairobi Hospital for medical treatment.
The assailants who brandished crude weapons remain at large, while police vow to apprehend them and determine the motive behind the attack.
In a separate incident, Macalder Kanyarwanda MCA Felix Okwanyo was hospitalised with a stab wound following an alleged assault by unidentified youths from the Nyatike sub-county.
Dr Mayank Puri, Director of Lifecare Hospital Operations, and his colleague Dr Ngasi Cavin confirmed that they received the injured individuals, including MCA Okwanyo, who sustained injuries to his chest, head, and arms.
The incident involved locals, police, and a faction linked to a visiting politician clashing for hours.
This turmoil erupted after MCA Okwanyo was reportedly beaten and stabbed over the contentious ‘Copper Hill’ gold mining site.
Two police officers sustained severe head injuries and were rushed to the same hospital. Another individual, identified as Julian Adongo, also suffered injuries from a stray bullet but is currently stable after treatment.
During the unrest, a politician's vehicle was destroyed by fire, while police used teargas to disperse the crowd.
In an exclusive interview with TUKO.co.ke, Okwanyo called on the National Police Service to urgently restore order and ensure the safety of residents.
