The video shows a certain individual trying to escape, what seems to be loud explosions. These loud explosions could be attributed to the tear gas and flashbangs that the police were using.

A man was filming police walking down the street and making comments like "that [rifle] better be on safety" towards them. Most officers continued walking down the street, while another ran towards him yelling "hands up" and shooting him with what were allegedly rubber bullets. The officer shot him once, causing the man's arm to bleed, then after a few moments shot him again in the leg. Blood can be seen dripping through the man's pants, which were clearly torn by the projectile.
