An idiot tourist was beaten up after he climbed an ancient pyramid which is banned.
Teresa Arroyo, who visited the archaeological site with her son, filmed the foolish man, 38, doing it.
Other tourists gathered at the bottom as they shouted and filmed him on their mobile phones.

A security guard also climbed the pyramid and attempted to follow the unruly visitor so that he could be brought back to the ground.
After the man climbed near to the top and reached flat ground, he disappeared out of view.
Two officials ran around the pyramid in the video, as they hoped to catch the man.
The crowd who had witnessed the scenes were angered by the incident as it is forbidden to climb the pyramid.
Personnel from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the National Guard (GN) removed the German tourist from the archaeological zone.
Whilst they guided him out of the area, dozens of tourists pounced on the man with some even hitting him.
According to local press, he suffered a blow to his forehead which caused him to bleed, as reported by Need To Know.
Teresa managed to also record the moment the man was swarmed by other tourists who relentlessly chased the man.
Members of the INAH and GN tried to diffuse the situation so that the man could be removed from the area.
The incident occurred yesterday (20 Mar), with the man climbing El Castillo, located in Chichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico.
Dozens of tourists had particularly gathered in the location on this day as the descent of the Feathered Serpent, Kukulkán, was taking place.
This event is one of the most anticipated because it marks the arrival of the Spring Equinox.
Chichén Itzá, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
Since 2008, it has been forbidden to climb the pyramid and this measure seeks to preserve the structure against the wear and tear caused by tourism.
This rule is in place to protect the site’s historical and cultural value.
