The officers appear to be shouting orders at the suspect in English.

A second shirtless young man, already in handcuffs and dressed in pink shorts with a backpack slung over his shoulder, stands just a few feet away. One officer can be heard ordering him to kneel and stay still.

Tourists, some visibly shocked, continue to pass by the unfolding drama.

‘It’s not the first time,’ a woman is heard saying on the video, hinting that the airport is no stranger to such incidents.

Authorities have yet to release the identities of the two men, believed to be foreign nationals, or comment on the nature of the charges.
