Video: Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club Bouncers Taped Beating Two Men In Atlantic City
HuffingtonPost breaks it down:
Police plan to file charges against several bouncers who were videotaped beating two men outside a nightclub co-owned by hip-hop star Jay Z.
A video was shot by a disc jockey who had just finished performing early Saturday inside the 40/40 Club and shows about nine security guards kicking and punching two men in a parking lot.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!” one of them yells. “I didn’t do nothing!”
The video shows one of the two men being kicked while he was lying on the ground, and also shows as many as six bouncers swarming and punching the other man, Tyrell Durant, 26, of Neptune.
“We came down to Atlantic City to have a good time, not to have the crap beat out of us,” Durant told The Associated Press on Monday. “We did not do anything to deserve this.”
Durant and his friend, Leonard Clark, have been charged with disorderly conduct.
Durant said he and Clark, 25, also of Neptune, were at 40/40 to celebrate Clark’s birthday. Clark was at the bar, having just ordered a $15 plate of chicken, when a bouncer who had just ejected someone else from the club told him to move, Durant said.
Clark protested, saying he was waiting for his food, and a bouncer began escorting him from the club, Durant said.
