A man is suing an MGM Resorts International property on the Strip after allegedly being “violently thrown to the ground,” resulting in head trauma, in an attempt to remove him from the premises.

A lawsuit filed by Andrey Anatolievich Balun claims “excessive and unreasonable force” was used by a Cosmopolitan security officer in an attempt to remove him from the casino. According to the lawsuit, law enforcement said the security officer’s conduct “may have constituted criminal behavior.”

The lawsuit was filed in the Clark County District Court on Oct. 28, asking for relief in excess of $50,000. Balun is suing on eight counts of battery; assault; intentional infliction of emotional distress; false imprisonment; negligence; and negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention.
