Not sure what I'm seeing here. I see the 'tag' on the video says 'bike thief' but there's none of that in the video. Drug buy gone bad?
Scene opens. Almost 11PM, gritty urban locale. Two guys in the street, in the upper center in the dark, one guy sitting on a chair in the foreground, another barely visible beside him.
Two people ride in on the motorcycle. The one on the back of the motorcycle gets off, interacts with the two locals in the dark, and after a bit they start fighting. Local in the chair gets up and goes into the building with his nearby buddy.
Motorcycle driver bolts, and a horde of polo-malletters come out of the building and wail on the remaining motorcyclist. Video cuts off while the beating is still in process.

What you are seeing is the MO of how a HUGE chunk of armed robberies in Brazil are conducted. Two guys in a motorcycle normally means the one in the back is armed, and they are up to no good.
My guess, as a native Brazilian, is that guy on the back of the motorcycle got off and this fact alone triggered suspicion of the bystanders. Armed guy is confronted by the people in the bar (almost sure it's a bar), and the melee ensues. The "mallets" are actually wooden brooms used to scrape gritty floors (like concrete pads, potholed sidewalks etc). They are ubiquitous, and can be bought anywhere.
