My interpretation of Handheld is when a scene is shot with a single camera held in someones hand. This may be used to give more of a first person perspective on certain events and may be used for such as the likes of documentaries.
I think this technique was used in this scene to simulate a first person viewpoint, it gives off a feeling that the characters in this scene are being watched and possibly stalked by an off screen persona. This results in a more tense, horrifying experience as a terrible event is possible being foreshadowed by this eerie use of the camera, causing a more engaging atmospheric experience for the audience.
