According to Shin Min Daily News, Mr Liew said he saw the woman arguing with airport security officers and repeatedly hitting the check-in equipment.

His video showed three police officers pinning her down at the baggage check-in area. The woman could be heard yelling incoherently.

Mr Liew claimed the woman appeared to be Chinese, in her 40s, with tattoos on her left arm and dyed brown hair.

When a commenter asked if it was a case of theft, he replied, saying it looked more like she was overwhelmed by the automated check-in systems.
