It apears to show one security guard kicking a member of the public on the ground at least twice, before another guard aims a punch at second man who is on his knees.

The person who shared it said he believed the footage showed the security guards were ‘clearly using excessive force’ as the members of public pictured ‘aren’t showing resistance’.

He called for the security guards involved to be removed from their positions while the incident is investigated.
