SAN ANTONIO, Texas (TCD) --
Two men were arrested for allegedly assaulting a naked man outside a Texas strip club last week.
San Antonio Police said a 26-year-old man was "viciously assaulted" on the 9500 block of Perrin Beitel Rd. on Jan. 7. Police said the assault was recorded on video.
Police said Zachary Wiatrek and Aurelio Elizondo were arrested and booked for aggravated assault - serious bodily injury on Thursday. Police said additional charges may be filed.
KABB-TV reports according to court records, it started when the 26-year-old victim went to the club with his two friends, Zachary Taylor Wiatrek, 23, and Aurelio Elizondo Jr., 27.
The three were reportedly outside Capisce Gentlemen's Club waiting for a ride to leave when the club's general manager suddenly grabbed the victim and "stripped him naked." Court records say the general manager convinced both Wiatrek and Elizondo to beat up the victim in the parking lot. The victim was punched in the head, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement. The victim reportedly suffered skull fractures and brain bleeding.
The San Antonio Express-News reports the third suspect had dragged the victim back into the club, stripped him of his clothes and then convinced his friends to assault him up outside the club, according to an affidavit.
According to the affidavit, video footage shows Wiatrek and Elizondo allegedly chasing Rodriguez around the parking lot before punching and kicking him in the head and back, the Express-News reports.
It's unclear if the general manager is facing charges, according to San Antonio Police. The Express-News reported the third suspect was named in the affidavit but has not been charged. KABB-TV reported all three suspects were identified and were facing aggravated assault charges.
