An intriguing video shows construction workers tie a man who they thought was going through their stuff to a metal pole. 

The construction workers use tape and yellow rope to tie the man up by his legs and arms.  

The man being tied up can be seen wearing camouflage pants, a white tank top and black socks because the construction workers removed the man's shoes.

In the video the man said that he 'was just checking out' the area but the construction workers didn't buy it.

The construction workers called the police but decided to enact their own form of crime and punishment.  

The man said that he wasn't scared while the construction workers continue to tie him up.

And in response one of the construction worker retorts: 'You're lucky we didn't beat you down'.

The same construction worker continued and claimed that they 'weren't going to beat him down' because 'everyone could see'.

At this point the man said he 'wasn't breaking into nothing'.

The man then goes silent and avoids making eye contact with the construction workers as they finish tying his arm to the metal pole.
