The clip first looks like a normal day spent chilling with friends on the side of the street. Men can be seen enjoying a drink and chatting before commotion starts.

One of the men dressed in a red hoodie haphazardly moves from the camera view before he is captured again with two other guys robbing a man dressed in a green shirt and blue jeans. After the man is robbed, the suspects slap him on the head and he runs away.
