In the one-minute amateur video, the police officer is heard threatening not to allow the woman to commence the registration process.

After some verbal exchanges which result in a man restraining the officer, he reaches across and lands a slap on the woman's face. Angered by the slap, the woman attempts to retaliate but she is restrained by another bystander.
