A seemingly ordinary evening at a trendy Miami eatery took a startling turn as an altercation unfolded between security guards and a guest on Friday night. The incident, which left one man bloodied and bruised, occurred at Gekko restaurant, a popular hotspot owned by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and renowned nightclub impresario David Grutman.

The restaurant had attracted a high-profile crowd that included soccer sensation Lionel Messi, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, and two members of the prominent Beckham family, Victoria Beckham and her daughter, Harper. According to a diner's account, the night marked a celebratory occasion — his daughter's 21st birthday.

Eager to capture the joyous moments on camera, the man's family attempted to take a photograph in the presence of some of the world's most recognizable faces. However, his attempts to immortalize the special occasion took an unexpected turn. Security personnel, guarding the privacy of the high-profile diners, reacted strongly to the family's photography endeavor.

"They jumped at us, they kicked me out and punched me in the face."

Messi and Roccuzzo, unaware of the unfolding turmoil, continued to enjoy their evening and only learned about the altercation the following day.
