WORCESTER, Mass. -- Worcester Police said they received tips Thursday that a nightclub bouncer assaulted and robbed a man in the club's bathroom.
Police said a video of the incident was posted online by another bouncer who was filming the assault as it happened at the Platinum Premier Club located at 241 Southbridge St.
Officers said the video showed the bouncer punching the victim in the face about four times, and taking money from his wallet.
Detectives said the 25-year-old victim was a Worcester resident. Police said the victim told them that the attack happened on May 25. The victim said he didn't report the incident because he was afraid the bouncers will come after him.
Police said they found that the bouncer, 35-year-old Easton Byfield, of Oxford, filed a report on May 25 stating that the victim assaulted him.
Detectives said they arrested Byfield last Friday and charged him with assault and battery, kidnapping, unarmed robbery and filing a false police report.
I think the bouncer served time for some other shit and now he's being charged for this crime.

sadly hate crime only goes one way and it is not the way of this video
now if the white guy was doing this then it would be a hate crime !
I'm amazed at how the dude just stood there and took that sh*t. From the guy going through his stuff to jacking him in the face a few times...I'll be damned if I'm gonna just stand there and take that sh*t!
I remember a similar story from down here a while back. Few bouncers took some tourists in the back room of the club and really messed them up.

This story is one of the leads on the 11pm news on WCVB Channel 5 in Boston.
I hope they charge the piece of shit filming this too.

Sounds like the Worcester PD acted on the tips quickly. I suspect the club is going to be under intense scrutiny from various licensing authorities in addition to potential legal troubles and civil liability.
Pretty broad generalization, isn't it? I mean considering I've worked the door, and still do, at some of the top nightclubs in Las Vegas for the last 7 years. I don't think any of the forum members who know me personally would consider me scum either. Asshole, yes, scum, no.Quote:
