Videos captured the escalation of the riot vividly. 

YouTube user chewkkf uploaded a series of four videos capturing the escalation of the riot at Little India on 8 December 2013.

The videos show the mob surrounding emergency vehicles trying to move towards the bus with the casualty.

For reasons unknown, the mob started to get aggressive and began hurling bottles and bricks at the emergency vehicles and proceeded to overturn the vehicles and set them on fire.
