Working security can be a dangerous job. It often involves getting into serious confrontations and putting your ass on the line for little pay. Having some knowledge in martial arts should be a requirement but it’s clear in this YouTube video that these guys did not have any sort of training that prepared them for this encounter.

It’s quite obvious early on that the BMX rider they are dealing with is spoiling for a fight. Eventually they make the decision to apprehend the biker and end up throwing him to the ground where they get on top and intelligently radio for backup. While they are trying to restrain the one guy his buddy comes over and gets involved, making an already bad situation into a much worse one for the guards, having to deal with multiple assailants.

For some reason once the friend gets involved they let go of the original trouble maker and focus on the friend where one guard knees him in the side to show him who’s boss. That’s when the original trouble maker they seem to have forgotten about socks the guard with a hard punch that drops him where the BMXer who he kneed returns the favor by whacking him while he’s down with his shoe. He’s lucky that’s all he got. It could have been much more worse for him, lucky these guys just wanted to get away.

The other guard manages to briefly get a hold of the original assailant but his friends end up pulling him away and the bikers get away after laying a beat down on the security guards.

A big issue when it comes to working security is in some ways the guards are hamstrung in a situation like this where they are not allowed to throw back and only supposed to restrain. You have to know when your ass is on the line and make the decision to defend yourself forcefully.
