Contact the SIA

Security Industry Authority
PO Box 1293
Liverpool
L69 1AX

Lodge a complaint against the club and thier security and push the point that they not only refused to sho thier SIA licnce when asked but became violent at that point.

Press charges too, backs up the complaint to the SIA, nothing to lose really!

Call an ambulance chaser/reputable (chuckle) Tv claims company, least they can make a request for the CCTV footage to be saved

Thanks , I thought that - silly policeman. I'm fine but it was the seemingly real and verbally confirmed threat of death that I want the charges to be based on.
I was pushed in front of a moving car by the throat (but caught) then the guy that had me in a choke hold twisting my head screaming that he'd snap my neck later was a bit alarming, it was pretty uncomfortable there was some solid crunches and I started to get a bit dizzy.apparently it was only then (a lot of adrenaline ,commotion and some beers) that I visibly resisted outwardlybut never struck out. I just remember forcing my neck the correct direction a pushing away the blokes jabbing me

they first attempted to drag me down an alley ,presumably back to the club but luckily that didn't succeed

this and he will lose his licence and therefore his job

Some of these ott door-men give security a bad name..I work in the security industry, but in the technical side of things, I was setting up some metal detectors, like the type used in airports, at york university. We had lots of guards on..I got talking to one who was sub contracted to us and not one of our guards...he was all "alpha male" and playing the big I am to some of the younger guys there, he said he was doing the doors later(night club I guess)...he couldn`t wait to kick the carp out of some body or to use his words "plant drugs on em".....lovely fella. I should have reported him really.

Sounds like you got lucky.

Personally, I'd pursue it coz the next person they grab might not be so lucky. They need moving on before they do serious harm.

Reminds me of the time I was approached from behind and throttled in a club in Portsmouth. Got dragged to the top of a fire escape where there is CCTV footage of me kicking another bouncer in the balls in an attempt to escape and then promptly being pushed down said fire escape. Was laying unconscious on the steps for a few minutes. Police tried to do the bloke (polish, hired as they were short staffed) for attempted murder as he had previous. Unfortunately i was in Afghan when the case came round so he got off.

I say do what others have suggested and report to SIA. The next victim may not be so lucky/capable as yourself.

Thats a ****ter Dave glad you're Ok.
I tried to pursue a similar thing but I didn't have names/numbers so hit a dead end. Amazingly his work mates wouldn't help me out.

I had wrecked clothes and a slit across my cheek from when my face was thrust in to a hand dryer. I approached the police outside who were very interested in how I appeared but lost interest when I said it happened inside.

You however were followed and attacked separably from the venue, by no less than 7 attackers, some of which you have the names of. So although I'm not a copper I would definitely recommended doing something about it. I know how it feels to be assaulted like that and although a few quid is a nice bonus its genuinely more about hitting someone who hit you, so your hit may not be physical one but if your bicep were stronger than his Im sure you'd have taken him there and then. As it is your brain is definitely stronger than his so take him out using that.

As always pal, anything I can do then let me know.

Will see what the police come up with and what evidence they have if any before proceeding.
Cheers all
