Sykes' male with tail wound

This male was heard (at first) being pursued by another through a Karura-side Muthaiga garden along the Gitathuru River. He was vocalising continuously and seemed to be in quite a bit of distress. No wonder. Could the other male have inflicted something so serious to his tail? Or might he have survived a crowned eagle attack? Male Sykes have been recently seen holding off a hunting crowned with rushes, battings, and branch-shaking. Perhaps the eagle had enough. Any views?

Caught the fellow shown on a camera trap along the Ruaka
River (KK17) in Karura Forest (only place where we've caught copyus BTW).

We only have slenders  on our list, but this fellow looks a bit larger and heavier like an Egyptian. Have added a bushbuck standing in the same spot for scale. Comments appreciated.
