The man could audibly be heard yelling in Mandarin for those holding him down to stop what they were doing and let him go.
By then, a large crowd of bystanders had gathered both inside and outside the store. A security guard also appeared to have arrived at the scene.
According to another video by the same user, about five minutes later, the police also arrived at the supermarket.
