The camera then pans around to show security guards laughing at the situation, joking with a young boy near the entrance of the departmental store while some women stand by as spectators, calmly watching the entire scene fold.

While the exact location and name of the store cannot be from the video, some social media users said it was an annual SAR5 sale at one of the country's popular department store.

It reminds us of a similar incident in 2015 at Dolmen Mall in Karachi, Pakistan when a video had gone viral showing women break down doors of a brand's outlet in the shopping mall nearly causing a stampede.
