A security guard may face charges after a video showing him rough up a patron at a Thompson bar went viral.  

 

Sergeant Kevin Lewis says Thompson RCMP are investigating: “Well the video came to the attention of the RCMP yesterday, and after reviewing the video it was decided that an investigation should be conducted to determine the lawful actions of the individuals involved in the altercation. So at this point we have an investigation underway into the actions of the security guard” 

 

Lewis says both the security guard and patron have been identified.

 

In the video, the security guard appears to yank the man, drag him to the floor, and restrain him while shouting at him.

 

Lewis says the actions from the bar staff was a surprise to him, which is why the investigation is being conducted.
