A disturbing incident unfolded late Wednesday night (June 24, 2026) outside a bar in San Diego, California, when a bouncer deployed a Taser directly into a man’s face at point-blank range. Graphic video circulating on social media captures the moment: the bouncer draws the device and fires it while standing mere inches from the man’s face.
Man Collapses, Suffers Visible Distress
Immediately after being shocked, the man collapses onto the pavement, convulsing and writhing in pain. He then rolls across the sidewalk as bystanders rush to check on him. Emergency responders transported him to a local hospital for treatment.
Bouncer Arrested, Charged with Felonies
Police arrested the bouncer shortly after the incident. According to TMZ, the suspect has been identified as David Marquez. He was booked into Vista County Jail and faces two felony charges: assault with a deadly weapon and assault with an electronic stun device. The bar has since terminated his employment.
The motive behind the attack remains unknown, and no further details about the man’s condition or the circumstances leading up to the altercation have been released by authorities.
