NY Bar Security Staff Roped Into Brawl After Trying to Break Up Fight

A security staffer who got dragged into a bar fight he was trying to break up just proves the old adage is true … no good deed goes unpunished, and sometimes you gotta kick ass.

Check out this wild footage, obtained by TMZ, showing an absolute melee going down late Friday night/early Saturday morning at a joint called Shorts Bar & Grill out in Fairport, NY … where we’re told 4 dudes went at it right on the floor as the evening tipped into midnight.

As exciting as that was … it was nothing compared to when one of the hired “Staff” security guards stepped in. At first, he was pulling people away and separating everyone — that is, until someone on the outskirts apparently pushed him down to keep the chaos going.

That’s certainly what it looks like, anyway … and that’s certainly how the bouncer took it — ’cause the guy started wailing on the man whom he suspected of shoving/provoking.

Indeed … the beatdown he dished out to this older fella is pretty brutal — dropping elbows on him and socking away. Eventually, they let the guy get up and stumble his way out of the scene. He didn’t really put up much of a fight, and it’s unclear what happened after.

No word on whether cops were called to this brawl or not either … and what’s even weirder is that this seems to have been Buffalo Bills related (if the jersey’d fan is any indication).
