Many people on social media have been horrified by video of the altercation outside the BSB bar in Bristol’s waterfront district, with one calling the man’s actions “honestly the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen.”
A man in a wheelchair was punched outside a nightclub by a thug for “running over his foot,” according to a shocking video.
The video shows the outside of a popular bar in Bristol where several people, including bouncers, are seen standing around.
A man in a white T-shirt approaches a man in a wheelchair before being punched in the face by another man.
The blow forces him backwards in his chair, landing flat on his back.
The thug in charge then walked away with the other man.
It is unknown what caused the commotion.
Last Friday, the incident occurred outside the BSB bar in Bristol’s waterfront district.
The video sparked outrage on social media, with professional boxer Anthony Fowler tweeting: “Wtf just when you think you’ve seen it all, some s***house punched someone in a wheelchair.”
That is lower than a snake’s belly, pure s*** house behaviour, I hope he gets what he deserves,” said another.
Another fumed: “How small do you have to be to punch a bloke in a wheelchair in the face?
“This is the most shocking thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
