The situation takes a shocking turn when the men begin removing the woman’s clothes and beating her while she is on the ground. Some members of the public are seen watching as the incident continues.
According to claims made by the armed men in the footage, the woman was allegedly wearing clothes that resembled a military or army uniform.
They appeared to accuse her of wearing clothing associated with military officers and demanded that the clothes be removed and taken away.
The woman was eventually left after the men took the clothing, according to what is seen in the video.
The disturbing footage has since attracted strong reactions online, with many viewers questioning whether the men were genuine security officers and whether they had the legal authority to subject the woman to such treatment.
Others have called on the relevant authorities to investigate the incident, establish what happened and identify the people involved.
However, the exact location where the incident occurred, the identities of the armed men and whether they were genuine security personnel could not immediately be independently established from the video.
Authorities have yet to publicly comment on the footage at the time of writing.
