Nightclub
Attack Leads to Civil Suit
Slim's Nightclub in San
Francisco is facing a major civil lawsuit, stemming from an
attack that left a patron with severe injuries and a Slim's
security guard convicted of assault charges.
It's the latest
in a string of complaints against the popular entertainment
venue.
A couple was at a
concert at Slim's when two men suddenly found themselves being
pushed and shoved back from the stage by the staff. Last month,
a security guard with a prior record of violence was convicted
of assault. Now, the nightclub and the guard are being sued by
the victims.
One of the
victims claims he was called gay epithets, hit with a
flashlight, and suffered severe injuries. He claims he almost
lost an eye in the incident.
The suit seeks
millions of dollars in damages.
There has been no
response from Slim's to the pending civil lawsuit.
