A man was assaulted and stripped naked after yelling racial slurs in a club, and the disturbing incident was captured on camera. According to FOX 13 Memphis, the incident happened last Saturday at C.J. Lounge in Marshall County, Mississippi. The unnamed man, who is reportedly a resident of Tippah County, walked into the venue and began using the N-word repeatedly toward clubgoers.
Footage shows the man being beaten, stripped, stomped, and doused with beer after allegedly refusing to leave and continuing his aggressive behavior. Authorities confirmed the man showed up at a hospital on Wednesday with injuries that may include a broken jaw.

Clubgoers React After Man Uses Racial Slurs at Mississippi Venue
Witnesses say the man came in already confrontational. According to a bystander named Miles Stone, club security asked the man to leave calmly, but instead, he escalated the situation by hurling racial slurs at the crowd.
“He was very aggressive,“ Stone recalled. “When they were scuffling outside, he was still using the N-word: ‘F you N’s, f you N’s.’”
Video circulating online shows the man stumbling, reportedly throwing up gang signs, and speaking incoherently before the situation turned violent. Clubgoers then took matters into their own hands—stripping the man, kicking him, and pouring alcohol over him as the crowd reacted in shock. Stone concluded, “I’m not standing for anything like that. However, we have to live with our choices, and he made the choice to go in there aggressively.”
Authorities Investigating Club Assault After Racial Slurs Used
Holly Springs Police Department has confirmed that the case is under active investigation. A person of interest has been identified, but officials believe multiple individuals were involved in the assault.
Despite the man’s use of hate speech, authorities are treating the situation seriously. Assault, regardless of provocation, is still a criminal offense under Mississippi law.
Investigators are reviewing footage from multiple cellphones and interviewing witnesses to determine exactly who participated in the assault and whether additional charges will be filed.
