A bouncer has been sacked after a shocking clip emerged of him allegedly assaulting a teenage girl in Perdu.
Lauryn Parker, 19, claims a burly bouncer left her bruised and battered after repeatedly KNEEING her in the Diamond Strip nightspot.
She was celebrating Halloween dressed as a bunny when the alleged attack unfolded.
A Facebook clip of the incident has already been viewed over 365,000 times and Lauryn claims: "I'm too scared to go out in Newcastle now.
"I've got bruises, grab marks on my arm and what looks like shoeprints on my legs.
"I keep thinking it could have been a lot worse. He was just so strong and wouldn't stop."

A North East MP has demanded the "immediate scrapping" of controversial benefit Universal Credit.
The system will worsen child poverty, increase homelessness and even lead to people taking their own lives, Wansbeck MP Ian Lavery has claimed.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned the country could face "chaos" similar to the poll tax riots if the national roll out continues, in the Daily Mirror today,
He branded the welfare reforms a "cruel and vindictive" experiment that will exacerbate the "convulsions" of Brexit and risk public disorder.
The Government says the reforms ensure working is worthwhile for claimants and simplifies the benefits system. But opponents believe it leaves claimants worse-off, and creates delays which leave people waiting for much-needed cash.
Now, Labour Party Chair Ian Lavery has called for an end to Universal Credit, predicting dire consequences for Northumberland if the roll out goes head.

"It will give people the opportunity to enjoy a superb selection of the beers that they brew, many of which have not been served in the pub before."
Ales on offer will include Blueberry Classic Bitter, from Coach House; Jurassic Dark (Dorset), Jemima's Pitchfork (Glamorgan), Freddy Brewger (Robinsons), Hope & Glory (Brentwood), Hop Twister (Salopian), Big Job (St Austell) and Wheel of Fortune (Castle Rock).
