The iconic Lionel Messi has Miami on his palms, and crowds rush everywhere to witness the man in action. But it goes up a level notch at times. Apparently, a man tried to photograph the soccer star with his wife when they met David Beckham at a restaurant. Soon as that happened, the bouncers jumped on him, leaving him in a bloody mess. Thus, various issues related to crowd control surfaced on the internet when Messi arrived, and this is the latest case of violent measures used.
With security tightened when he shows up, it’s hard to get a peak of the superstar. As there were issues regarding the player’s safety, the bouncers beat the fan up for trying to picture Messi and his wife. However, he came out to claim that nothing of that sort happened. A video surfaced on the net about how David Beckham’s wife, Victoria, rushed out with her daughter, Harper, and left the restaurant.

The victim stated, “They jumped at us, they kicked me out and punched me in the face. Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing.” Apparently, security continued to punch him outside the restaurant. Another woman supported the victim by stating, “He’s a family man, celebrating his daughter’s 21st birthday.” David Beckham’s close friend David Grutman and pop star Bad Bunny own the restaurant.
