A black man was held down by five white security guards and elbowed in the face

This is the shocking moment a black man was held down by five white security guards and elbowed in the face before being dragged out of a nightclub.

A customer filmed the moment the unidentified reveler was forcibly removed from Ropers Rockin-Country for "harassing people on the dance floor".

Footage shows the man writhing on the ground at the venue in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as one employee sits on him, another has him in a headlock and others hold his legs still.
