DORAL, Fla. — Three men faced charges on Thursday after police officers accused them of beating up a man at a strip club in Doral during an attempt to steal his diamond chain, records show.
A detective had surveillance video and arrested Manuel Barrios, Yoan Guzman, and Sadien Mena at 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday at the Doral Police Station at 6100 NW 99 Ave., according to a police arrest report.
The victim reported the attempted robbery was early Sunday morning inside Pink Pony, a strip club at 7971 NW 33 St., in Doral, according to a police officer’s arrest report.
Surveillance video showed Mena, 34, talking to the victim before the two walked to the men’s restroom, where the victim said Guzman, 33, pushed him and three to four men attacked him, according to police.
“While he was on the ground, he heard one of the males say, in Spanish, ‘La cadena,’ referring to his chain, which is a 10 karat 2000 grams diamond chain valued at approximately $240,000,” a police officer wrote, according to the report.
The victim said the strip club’s security guards stopped the beating and forced them all out of the restroom, according to police.
Surveillance video at the club shows Mena and Barrios, 25, “grabbing” the victim’s chain and “pulling” it, according to police.
The victim managed to escape with his chain after suffering bruises and lacerations to the face, neck, shoulders, and arms, according to police.
According to inmate records, corrections booked Barrios; Guzman, also known as Yoan E. Guzmanbango; and Mena, also known as Sadien Alexis Menacove, shortly after 2:25 a.m. on Thursday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Barrios, Guzman, and Mena each faced charges of attempted strong-arm robbery and battery.
