A video circulating online shows two brothers who were protesting the war in Gaza being forcibly pulled inside the Permanent Mission of Egypt to the U.N. in New York City before being led away in handcuffs by police earlier this week.

The siblings were identified by their parents as Yasin ElSammak, 22, and Ali Elsamak, 15, who they said are both U.S. citizens

Protester Husam Khaled, who recorded the incident Wednesday, said he ran from the area after attempting to chain lock the doors to the Egyptian Mission, but returned when he noticed the brothers did not. Khaled said that he had asked Yasin, who brought his brother along, to film the protest in case he was arrested and lost his phone.

Video clips Khaled shared with NBC News show the brothers being grabbed outside the building and tackled to the ground. An onlooker is heard calling for help and shouting, “They’re bringing the kids inside the building.”

Khaled said that Yasin was struck in the neck with a chain and that Ali was pinned against a wall.
