Man Banned From Baltimore Casino After Assaulting Officer

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- A security guard knocked out cold at the Horseshoe Casino.

A warning, some may find the video disturbing!

Cell phone video captures the assault over the weekend.

You can see the tail end of a confrontation between a man and a security guard, then the man knocked the guard out with one punch!

In a statement to WJZ, a spokesperson for the casino says the majority of their millions of visitors have enjoyed the casino since it opened 14 months ago and have done so responsibly.  "Like any major entertainment attraction, a very small percentage of visitors to our venue fail to act in an acceptable manner. In the rare instance when this occurs, we follow a zero tolerance policy."

Baltimore Police say they are aware of the video and are investigating.

Charges against the individual are still unknown at this time, but due to casino policy, the individual has been banned for life.
