In the short clip, Yaytseslav is seen wearing a yellow top while speaking to a young lady inside the mall.
The video captures the moment he gave his phone to the lady as he punches in her digits.
From what can be seen, the interaction appears calm and casual, just a public exchange between two people.
What is interesting about the footage is that it does not look staged or intentionally recorded for content.
The video seems to have been taken from inside a parked car, possibly by someone who noticed him at the mall and decided to film from a distance.
There is no dramatic confrontation or loud exchange, just a brief moment that might not have meant much at the time it was recorded.
However, after Yaytseslav began trending in Ghana over his viral approach videos, the person who filmed the Accra Mall moment may have gone back into old recordings and recognised him.
