Suspected Thief Pulls Out Knife as Angry Crowd Surrounds Him

A tense video showing a man confronting a group of people while holding a bladed weapon has attracted attention online.

The man was accused of theft by social media accounts that shared the footage.

In the video, he stands near the entrance of a building as several people surround him.

He appears to hold at least one large bladed object while warning the group to keep its distance.

The Instagram post claimed that the man had a knife and a panga, another name for a machete.

Members of the group hesitate to approach him because of the weapons.
