A viral video has captured the dramatic moment a young man was apprehended, hiding inside the ceiling of a bank.

However, when staff arrived the following morning, they discovered the main entrance locked from the inside.

Suspecting foul play, they forced the door open and heard unusual sounds coming from the ceiling.

The suspect was eventually taken down by security operatives, who found him attempting to tamper with the banks systems.

In the viral clip, he is seen being forcefully pulled down, beaten, and tied up with a rope by security personnel and others present.
