A young woman who was pinned against the wall by bouncers has called on a club to clean up its act after one of the men was prosecuted for assault.
The woman, who is 22, needed counselling and told the BBC she still feels anxious when she sees security staff.
One of the bouncers, Craig Sawbridge, admitted assault by beating and was given an 18-month community order.
The club, Mosh in Leicester, said Sawbridge no longer works for them.
However the woman, who did not want to be named, believes what happened to her raises wider issues about door staff.
