THIS is the shocking moment a thug punched a disabled man from his wheelchair in front of doormen.
The mobile footage shows a clubber knocking a man out of his wheelchair with a vicious punch.
The victim was left flat on his back after being tipped from his wheelchair by the force of the blow.
The incident happened during the early hours of Friday in front of shocked security staff and customers outside the BSB bar in Bristol’s waterfront district.
Mobile footage, which captured the horrific incident, later went viral on social media.
The thug, who was with a second man, approached the victim and then unleashed a punch. The two men then walked off.
