IANAL, but you can't physically eject someone from a space in most civilized countries even if they're doing something wrong. Call the polizei/police.

There are exceptions for immediate threat to life, but you can't go wild and start kicking and punching someone for trespassing. That's assault and the video footage is possible evidence that could lead to charges.

I was a bouncer in a previous life, and there were very strict rules to follow after asking someone to leave.



yes, you can. Its called being a bouncer. I did it for 15 years. You don't kick and punch, and the video show quite clearly that the staff were simply trying to eject him.

I didn't see anyone "go wild and start kicking and punching" in the linked video.

Maybe it happened, the video isn't the clearest and it turns away from the action more than once, but that still isn't what the video appears to show.
