This is the damning footage used to convict bar staff who beat and kicked a customer in the street until he was unconscious.
The victim, a man in his twenties, was set upon by four employees of the Fridge Bar in Brixton, South London.
Footage of the attack taken from council CCTV cameras shows doorman Frederick Mallefroy, 43, sitting astride the victim and punching him in the head.

Video evidence: Scenes from the attack in which staff from the Fridge Bar in Brixton set upon beating an unidentified man
Co-owner of the bar Ralph Daley, 45, struck him repeatedly with a metal pole. It was used with such force that it buckled.
Bar cashier Victor Reid, 41, is seen beside Mallefroy stamping and kicking the victim in the head.
A fourth attacker - wearing a baseball cap - has not been traced.
The victim, who was trying to get into the bar when the men grabbed him, was treated in hospital for cuts, bruising and a leg injury.
Despite the fact he did not want to give a statement, detectives went ahead with the prosecution because of the quality of the footage.

Pinned down: Doorman Frederick Mallefroy sat on the victim and punched him
Daley, of Purley, Mallefroy, of Ilford, and Reid, of Brixton, were all arrested and charged with violent disorder and attempted grievous bodily harm. Two others - bar co-owner Gary Baker, 37, of Paddington, and DJ James Stevenson, 25 - were charged with perverting the court of justice after a police officer witnessed them disposing of the metal bar Daley used in the attack.
All five were convicted at the same trial last year.
Four of them are due to be sentenced today at Inner London crown court for the November 2006 attack. Mallefroy did not turn up to the trial and was convicted in his absence. It is believed that he has fled abroad.
Anyone with information should call Lambeth CID on 020 8649 2119 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
