The man in black later walked away from the scene.
Shortly afterwards, another man, dressed in white and who had earlier helped restrain him, pointed and shouted at the two men.
He then appeared to throw a punch at one of them, causing the man to stumble backwards into plastic barricades along the side of the sloped walkway and fall.
