McDonald's guard batters woman with stick after she threw drink at him
Police are investigating after a McDonald’s security guard was caught on film battering and kicking a woman who threw a drink at him.
The bouncer attacked the woman after she threw the remains of a drink at him in the early hours of Sunday in Birmingham.
In mobile phone footage uploaded to the Birmz is Grime blog, bystanders urge the woman to ‘do it, do it, you bad?’.
As soon as she throws the dregs of her drink at him and runs away, the guard grabs his stick from the city centre doorway and chases after her.
He whacks her with the stick and pushes her to the ground several metres away, before landing a series of blows with the baton to her head and body.
With the woman lying on the floor and the attack seemingly over, bystanders and the cameraman laugh when the guard appears to say ‘man up’,
But she then says something back and he returns to boot her in the head twice before the clip ends with the woman still on the ground next to Birmingham’s New Street station.
