Here we have a classic electrophilic addition reaction.
We must remember that a double bond is an area in a molecule that has a high electron density. As a result, double bonds can act as nucleophiles and react with good electrophiles.
In this problem, the alkene attacks the dibromide to form a bromonium ion, which is rather unstable. The bromonium ion pulls carbon's electrons toward itself, causing the carbons in the bromonium complex to have a slightly negative charge. As a result, the negatively charged bromine can attack either of the carbon atoms and, thus, we have added two bromines to our carbon chain.
