POLICE called to an alleged assault at Sydney’s upmarket Ivy nightspot were “deliberately diverted” from discovering a teenager being beaten up in the basement of the premises.
According to documents tendered to a Sydney court yesterday, the alleged assault of university student Nicholas Barsoum, 19, was captured on CCTV footage and is said to show the teenager being placed on a stool in the basement of the Ivy and punched in the groin by bouncer and cage-fighting jujitsu champion Emmanouil Ntaras, 30, a Greek national.
When Mr Barsoum fell to the floor he was allegedly kicked in the face by another security supervisor, Jason Mendelow, 24.
The alleged assault on Sunday morning began outside the George Street hotel when witnesses watched security guards place Mr Barsoum face down on the ground with his hands behind his back, the court documents say.
The teenager’s head was held still and he was punched in the face, kicked in the ribs and a fluorescent security vest was stuffed in his mouth and tied around his head before he was led to the basement, police allege.

“When police initially arrived they were diverted away . . . by security, stating the offenders had run away. Police believe they were deliberately diverted,” the court documents say.
Mr Ntaras, Mr Mendelow and another security guard, aged 42, were charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and have been released on conditional bail to appear in court at a later date.
It was also claimed that a cleaner who removed forensic evidence from the basement room was told not to speak to police about the incident.
Mr Barsoum’s father, who did not want his first name published, told The Australian his family was considering taking legal action against the security company. His son suffered severe head and facial injuries, internal bleeding on his organs, bruising and lacerations and is unable to open his left eye.
“Whatever happened (the bouncers) shouldn’t have taken those actions,” the father said.
“They are there to do a job as security and they should have called police.”
The father said his son, who is studying health sciences, would be taking the next semester off classes to recover.
Ivy owner Justin Hemmes said he was “sickened and appalled” by the incident. The kind of behaviour that allegedly occurred at Ivy had “no place in my business and the venues for which we are responsible”.
