The thugs who broke into groups had slapped, kicked and beat up the soldiers in uniform.
Some traders had closed for the day and fled home to apparently avoid being caught up in a reprisal attack.

However, hours after the assault, armed soldiers invaded the market chasing people in different directions.
In a video of the incident, someone was heard screaming, “This is World War 2.”
