bouncer assults 3 youngsters in bathroom

Following the video of a bouncer assaulting three customers in the bathroom of Stones Fourways, the club released a statement saying the attacker was a customer.

According to the release by the entertainment group, investigation by Stones head office established that the 24-year-old, who claimed to be a bouncer at the Fourways Branch, was in fact a customer, along with the other men involved with the incident.

“He is not and has never been an employee at Stones Fourways, as such no disciplinary action can be taken against him,” the statement said.

They believe the incident was of a personal nature.

“Stones does not condone physical violence, as such all parties have been banned from all Stones venues,” the statement concluded.

The incident in the video, that seemingly took place on 22 September due to the time stamp of the footage, shows the ‘bouncer’ hitting one man in the face, before smacking two others.

The footage was allegedly taken inside the security room of the club, and possibly by the so-called bouncer.
Just before he walks into the frame, a voice says, “I’m about to come in.”

After he knocks out the first person in the footage, a female voice asks, “Why did you hit him, babes?”

A male voice responds, “They were doing drugs and stuff”, with the female voice laughing as the ‘bouncer’ slaps two other men in the bathroom of the club.

3 October, 2.30pm

A live leaked video showing a ‘back-up’ bouncer assaulting three men in a bathroom has led to the bouncer closing his Facebook account.

The video shows the bouncer punching one of the three men without warning. The bouncer works at a well-known bar in Fourways.

It is alleged that the group was smoking marijuana in the bathroom during the assault.

The bouncer received flack on 3 October for his attack on the three. His Facebook page was flooded by an annoyed public asking how he could justify taking the law into his own hands.

He replied that any publicity is good publicity, and that he is now friends with the three.

One of his last posts before closing his account alleged that the three men were known dagga dealers, and that they had been selling at the club before.

The 24-year-old amateur bodybuilder added that the men were aged 32, 22 and 19.

The video taken of CCTV footage seems to have originated from the club. As the bouncer loads the video, a voice says, “I’m about to come in” before he appears. Early in the video a female voice can be heard asking, “Why did you do it, babes?”

So far no assault cases have been opened at the Douglasdale Police Station.
