The huge bouncer was part of the fracas outside the nightclub, and can be seen grappling with the first man.

The security guard then punches the man in the head which causes him to fall to the floor, hitting a car on his way down.

He then staggers to his feet to approach the bouncer, only to take another blow which sent him straight to the ground again.

Another partygoer then becomes involved in the violence, and he is sent sprawling on top of the first man, with another devastating blow from the burly bouncer.

Once more, the first man gets to his feet to approach the security guard - and takes one final punch to the head and hits the concrete.

The injured man lies very still on the street, while bystanders rush to help him.

One calls out 'Someone call 999,' as people surround the man lay on the floor.

Makhel Leigertwood-Gibson, 20, of Southgate, London was arrested with two counts of assault by beating. He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates court later this month.

Police could not confirm or deny that he was the bouncer in the video.
