A California bouncer was arrested after disturbing video captured him allegedly firing a Taser into a man’s face from point-blank range outside a Carlsbad venue, sending the victim crashing to the sidewalk.
The footage, which has spread widely on social media, appears to show the security guard pulling out a stun gun and aiming it just inches from the shirtless man’s face before pulling the trigger.
The victim immediately collapses to the ground, writhing in pain as the Taser’s probes appear to incapacitate him.
Moments later, the man is seen crawling along the sidewalk while concerned bystanders rush over to check on him and offer assistance.
The video then cuts to police officers escorting the bouncer away in handcuffs following the incident.
The suspect was identified as David Marquez. According to TMZ, he was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on two felony charges: assault with a deadly weapon and assault with a stun gun.
