One of the suspects gets up and starts shouting at Glaria, and at one point he appears to kick the injured have-a-go hero in the head.

At the end of the footage, the suspected thieves ride off as Glaria lies motionless on the ground.

According to local media, the 26-year-old man died at the scene while being assisted by paramedics.
