Bouncers at Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in Atlantic City were caught on camera delivering a brutal beatdown of two ejected patrons and may face criminal charges, police said Monday. The Saturday morning scuffle was captured in a 50-second clip posted on YouTube, showing at least nine burly guards ganging up on the men at the nightspot’s parking lot. They all throw in punches and some are seen at one point kicking a person who is lying on the ground.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!” one of the victims yells. “I didn’t do nothing!”
Shouts of “easy” can be heard in the background.
“We came down to Atlantic City to have a good time, not to have the crap beat out of us,” one of the victims, Tyrell Durant, 26, said yesterday. “We did not do anything to deserve this.” The man who videotaped the fight, giving only his stage name, DJ Zeke, said he was walking to his car after performing at the club when he saw the two patrons being sprayed with a fire extinguisher. He then turned the camera on.
“I was disgusted by it,” DJ Zeke, 25, said of the beating. “That’s the only reason I had to make somebody see it.” Cops were called to the club at 4:20 a.m. and arrested Durant, 26, and Leonard Clark, 25, of Neptune, N.J., charging them with disorderly conduct, police said. Both were kicked out of the posh lounge after being accused of grabbing female guests and jostling with staff, sources said. source
