Dusk bouncer found guilty of assaulting 20-year-old girl

Michael Thom, who violently threw Danielle Kelly out of Dusk Nightclub last February, has been found guilty of assaulting her and her friend.

Danielle told the Stirling Sheriff court she was grabbed from her seat by the 30-year-old before he dragged her down a set of stairs and used her body to push open a fire exit.

She was left with several cuts and bruises after landing on a pile of rubble in an alley.

Danielle had lost one of her shoes and was told by another steward to remain sitting until they found it. Unwilling to listen to her reason’s Thom instantly grabbed her to remove her from the premises.

The Dusk bouncer denied assaulting both girls, but was found guilty of assault on 3^rd of November. His sentence has been deferred.
