Shocking moment Costa bouncer strangles a customer unconscious and throws him to the floor like a rag doll

This is the horror moment when a bouncer performs a martial arts chokehold on a customer at a Costa resort before knocking him unconscious to the ground like a rag doll.

The doorman was filmed squeezing his right arm tightly around his victim’s throat after surprising him from behind when he spoke to another bouncer.

The posterior naked stricture, also called a “blood choke” because it restricts blood flow to the brain via the carotid arteries, knocked him unconscious within seconds.

The assailant then showed his contempt for the man he had rendered unconscious and his lack of concern for his well-being by dumping him on the sidewalk and walking away.

A group of youths were only inches away and witnessed the attack, but seemed to do nothing to intervene.

The sickening scene took place in the early hours of last Friday at a nightclub in Almunecar south of the southern Spanish city of Granada on the so-called Costa Calida, which translates into English as the Warm Coast and east of the more internationally known Costa del Sol.

Unconfirmed local reports say the man held in a chokehold was a ‘problem’ customer who had previously thrown rocks at the unnamed nightclub.

He lay on the floor for several seconds before coming to and standing up. He wouldn’t have suffered any permanent damage.

Police have identified everyone involved in the incident but have not yet made any arrests and have instead prepared a full report and sent it to a local court so that an investigating judge can decide what action to take.

The unconscious man had not filed a formal complaint late Monday. His nationality has not been made public.

Last November in Malaga, a tourist was strangled unconscious in a violent robbery by an assailant who used the same strangling technique.

The German victim tried to use her hands to free herself from the attacker, but passed out after a few seconds.

Footage captured at the time showed the man rummaging through her belongings with a female accomplice as she lay on the floor before they fled the scene after realizing they had been spotted.
