the problem with a outside event

Eagle eyed I stand watching across the mass of students at the summer ball, analysing the body language, the facial expressions, the eyes of everybody that I can see, but with such a large space, it becomes a lot more difficult to police.

''boss to anotherdoorman"
"go for anotherdoorman"
"Can you head over to the main tent, need you to keep an eye on stage 1''
''on my way''

I walk through all the students, large strides, looking around me as people are drinking, enjoying themselves dancing, chatting and socialising, for a brief moment I wish I had come with friends/girlfriend rather than in a professional capacity; the moment passes.

As I get to the stage the performer is on stage and keep the crowd occupied, but out of the corner of my eye I see a young looking student with hair like a mop try and sneak past the steward on the side of the stage, I walk over to him, and put on my polite face.

"Sir, this area is restricted to artists and staff"
" I love him, I just want to say hi"
"You cant be behind here mate, you need to move back, please" (note I changed from sir to mate, since his tone and attitude wasn't very friendly, I didnt feel the need to be overly polite)

At this point, the young guy tried to push past me: mistake 1.
As I grabbed his arm, lightly, not a nasty grip, and started walking him towards the rear exit he shouted ''fuck you paki cunt'' at me: mistake 2. At this point my polite, student loving door attitude got thrown out the window and the chap was thrown directly into a gooseneck, and taken out to the rear exit.

Now, the problem with a outside event is that you cannot clearly just bin the clients out of the front door like a usual venue, as its an open site, you have to remove the wrist band. I got him to one of the boundaries and talking to him politely I told him that I would let go if he didnt lash out, I used a threat that if he did lash out he would regret it; an empty threat? (note: I was fully aware of the CCTV cameras that were not operating in my area),

by this time the headdoorman of the night had come to my position by coincidence and was standing with me and the chap, as I released him, what he did next was stupid, but also potentially quite clever... he ran.

I chased.

I'm quite fit, young and very very fast, so I caught up with him way before he knew what was happening, forgot, for the second time, that this was a student venue and not a dark central city nightclub as i'm so used to working, I grabbed him into a loose legal choke (no excessive force used.) and pulled him to the ground, while the headdoorman came over and tried to remove his wristband...

... He didn't have one! After all that, he had sneaked into the event! So we escorted him away from the event and gave a description to the rest of the staff, hopefully never to be seen again..

P.S I've been away, I have been off the doors for a bit, so I didn't have anything to write about, i'll be back updating much more frequently very soon!
