The caption read:

"Vosloorus police station with lots of rats."

The 46-second material sees a group of about four policemen in uniform with guns in their holsters, including the person filming, going after the rats in one section of what appears to be the police station.

The men, appearing more afraid than bent on killing the creeps, shove and shakily boot the rodents.

At one point, a policeman standing in the doorframe nearly topples over his feet as he tries kicking at an escaping rat using both feet.

Meanwhile, the person filming laughs hysterically at the frenzied scenes, while Briefly News could not verify if the event had occurred at the quoted station.
