The Savoy Hotel has said it is 'shocked and appalled' after a security guard was filmed attacking a homeless man.
The smartly-dressed bouncer unleashed a horrific attack that lasted almost 20 seconds as colleagues and other witnesses looked on at the front doors of the five-star, £2,500-a-night hotel.
Footage shows the bald man smashing the rough sleeper in the face before throwing him to the floor and hitting him with a flurry of punches as he lay curled in the foetal position on the floor.
The man isn't fighting back and appears dazed or even unconscious as the suited guard kicks him in the face, seemingly taunts him and stamps on his head with both feet.
A spokesperson from the hotel said: “Yesterday we became aware of this utterly deplorable incident and immediately launched a comprehensive investigation.
