Jay-Z's Nightclub Sued Over Ferocious Beating

One of the men savagely beaten outside of Jay-Z's Atlantic City nightclub last month is finally fighting back -- dropping a serious lawsuit on the club and the bouncers who were caught beating him on tape.
Bryant Norwood -- the first man attacked in the video -- is demanding a "substantial amount of money" from the 40/40 Club and the bouncers, claiming the "bullies" attacked him for "no reason" as he left the establishment back in November.

TMZ spoke to Norwood's attorney, who told us, "These so-called security personnel are going to have to answer why Mr. Norwood was lying on the ground being kicked and why he was punched in the head as he tried to escape from them."According to the lawsuit, filed in state court in New Jersey, Norwood sustained "diverse personal injuries" and "permanent injuries."
