His face contorted with hate and his eyes bulging, a reveller rages at a doorman who refused him entry to a popular city centre nightspot.

Shocking footage recorded on body cameras worn by bouncers working at The Cuban in the High Street captures the man telling a Romanian employee he will “slaughter [his] entire generation ” and “smash and batter” him.

The doorman's boss has released the video to show some of the shocking behaviour his staff encounter while simply doing their job.

During the ferocious 10-minute tirade, the middle-aged man – who admits he is a father – swears 165 times before insisting he has been “polite, considerate and everything”.

He rants: “I ain’t no ordinary mortal” before asking the doorman not to insult him – and then appearing to challenge him to a fight in the road.

Door staff at The Cuban, one of Canterbury’s busiest bars, had refused the man entry because he was drunk at around 10.20pm on Christmas Eve.

Video equipment, produced by firm B-Cam and attached to one doorman’s jacket, records the man’s fury.

The recording offers an insight into the abuse and threats door staff working in Canterbury routinely face.

Oli Nonis, a director of Akon security, which runs the door at The Cuban, said: “This is just an example of what we have to tolerate on a daily basis and are expected to just to put up with.

“It’s not the norm for the average punter, but there are people who think it’s OK to behave like this towards our staff.

"But they’re professionals and properly trained and know exactly how to deal with situations like this.

“It also means we are able to ensure well-managed venues like The Cuban are free of drunks and potential troublemakers so people can enjoy their nights out without hassle.

“This situation also shows the effectiveness of the body-worn cameras in recording instances of disorder or crime.”

Other revellers passing The Cuban witness the abusive onslaught. One quips “what a lovely man”.

Another man appears at the front door waiting for a friend to emerge from The Cuban.

After a minute, he tries to reason with the drunk and asks him where he is from. “The local community,” the drunk replies. “I’m going to a club. What you doing?”

With that the man walks off towards the Clocktower end of the High Street.
