Two journalists were seated with equipment, including devices they were charging. A uniformed person instructed the journalists to pack quickly, counting down the seconds. Multiple times the uniformed person refused to identify himself or reveal a badge number to the journalist who requested the information.

The journalists did not pack their equipment quickly enough to suit the uniformed person and were placed under arrest and were handcuffed. The uniformed person banged the journalist’s head on the door upon exit and offered an insincere apology. The journalists were not told the reason for their arrest.
