What steps should be taken if my fiance and 2 friends were assaulted by the security staff at a bar/nightclub?
The security staff had them handcuffed and were posing as police officers. They pepper sprayed them, beat them with the club, and kneed them all while they were handcuffed. We feel this was completely uncalled for. Are we able to sue the nightclub for something like this?
