The music fan is then brought down to the concourse floor with both security personnel appearing to try to restrain him on the ground.
Another G4S staffer can be seen following the trio down the steps and watching over the scene. It is not yet known the reason behind the man being restrained.
The company confirmed to Edinburgh Live that the incident is being probed.

Mountain rescue team scrambled to two emergencies in 48 hours on Scots mountainside
Volunteers from Killin Mountain Rescue Team were called out to two incidents on Beinn a' Chroin, near Crianlarich, in less than 48 hours. Killin Mountain Rescue Team were called into action twice in less than 24 hours to assist stranded walkers on the same mountainside. Police Scotland contacted the team around 2.30am on Tuesday, August 12, following a report from a man who had lost his way on Beinn a' Chroin, near Crianlarich. The police swiftly located the man's car, enabling the rescue team to focus their search on Beinn a' Chroin and An Caisteal. A spokesperson for Killin MRT stated: "We had eight team members who responded and worked closely with the HM Coastguard helicopter, Rescue 199, to search the common routes on and off the mountains, and we located the male who was uninjured coming off of Beinn a' Chroin." He was airlifted back to the rendezvous point and the rescue team were stood down at 9.15am. However, the team were back in action just over 12 hours later, at around 10.35pm on Tuesday, August 12, when they were called back to Beinn a' Chroin after an exhausted walker requested police assistance. The woman was unable to descend the mountainside and the team were once again brought in. The Killin MRT spokesperson said: "Our assistance was requested to get the female off the hill. The female was able to provide us with her location, so only four team members responded, given she was uninjured, and were assisted by the gamekeeper from Glen Falloch estate who assisted in taking team members as close to the location as possible using an ATV. "The female was assisted off the hill and team members stood down around 3am. " Just over 12 hours later, the volunteers were called into action once more to help rescue a 21-year-old man who plummeted a 'significant distance' onto rocks at Bracklinn Falls, sustaining injuries. The Killin MRT spokesperson said: "What a few days it's been for the Killin Mountain Rescue Team! We were called out by Police Scotland Forth Valley three times in just 48hours. "These recent incidents highlight the vital role our team plays as the dedicated first responders for mountain rescue in our area. Our highly trained volunteers drop everything to help, whether it's a high-level mountain emergency or a complex multi-agency rescue for a person who has fallen. "Our continuous training is what allows us to respond effectively, no matter the situation. A big thanks to Scottish Ambulance Service and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for working so well with us." The team also provided essential advice for those venturing into Scotland's hills and mountains. Amongst their recommendations, they suggest: Always ensure you have a fully charged phone and ample torch power, along with an extra battery pack. For mountainous or rough terrain walks, don't solely depend on your phone for navigation. Carry a map and compass and be proficient in their use. These skills are crucial. Even on brief, well-trodden walks, pay attention to conditions and wear suitable footwear. If you find yourself in a sticky situation, don't hesitate to dial 999 and request the Police, followed by Mountain Rescue.
