In the clip, the man was barefoot and lay still near a pedestrian crossing in Toa Payoh Central.

One of the officers appeared to be speaking on his walkie-talkie.

A second clip showed a third police officer at the scene.

The officers then proceeded to roll the man over so that he was seated upright, albeit with a grimace.

They then helped him to his feet and led him away, still in handcuffs.
