"Look brother, don't do that. They're going to take you to prison tonight," a person says as the man removes his shirt.
It happened on Concourse C, which was crowded at the time.
A person is heard calling, "Where are the police officers?"
Police apparently were not immediately visible.
The video shows several women assuming control of the situation until the agitated man appears to calm down.
An officer eventually made it to the concourse where the argument occurred.
