Footage of red clad individuals behaving violently and trying to break down shutters for a business premise, allegedly during the Wednesday's rally, is circulating widely on the internet.

The CCTV footage, which has been shared more than 27,000 times on Facebook, shows several individuals in red shirts kicking and shaking the shutters before walking away.

The time stamp on the video reads 4.30pm on Sept 16, 2015.

According to China Press , the incident took place at Winsin Hotel Chinatown at Jalan Petaling.

It is located about 250 metres from the entrance of the Petaling Street market area.

Dang Wangi district police chief Zainol Samah said no police reports have been lodged over the video.

Malaysiakini has contacted the person who uploaded the video on his Facebook page for further details.

On Wednesday, 45,000 people flocked to Kuala Lumpur to join the rally.

The rally was held to protest alleged insults to Malay pride during the Bersih 4 demonstration.

Two police officers and several protestors were injured during a standoff at Petaling Street that day.

Hotel Seri Pacific reportedly also sustained damages, after they barred protestors from using the toilet there when they started lounging at the hotel lobby.

A toilet bowl was reportedly broken while a protestor allegedly threatened to break a cubicle door when the lights were turned off.

Two protestors were arrested at the rally, and police say they tested positive for drugs.

The rally was also marred by racist remarks, uttered by both protesters and Malay politicians.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, however, said the rally proved that Malays could gather peacefully without provocation.
