Jay-Z’s Nightclub Sued Over Beating Customers At Parking Lot Jay-Z’s |
A man beaten outside Jay-Z's sports bar in Atlantic City, New Jersey has filed suit against the club and its bouncers.
Security guards were caught on camera attacking Bryant Norwood and two other customers in the parking lot of the rap superstar's 40/40 Club in October (09) after they were ejected from the establishment. The bouncers accused of assaulting the men have since been fired.
Norwood, the first man attacked in the video, has now filed suit in state court in New Jersey, claiming he sustained "diverse personal injuries" and "permanent injuries".
According to media, he is demanding a "substantial amount of money" from the 40/40 Club and the bouncers, claiming the 'bullies' attacked him for 'no reason' as he left the establishment.
His attorney, adds, "These so-called security personnel are going to have to answer why Mr. Norwood was lying on the ground being kicked and why he was punched in the head as he tried to escape from them. The 40/40 Club is going to have to answer why they hired people like this to supposedly protect their patrons and maintain order in their establishment."
Representatives for the club have refused to comment.
