Newly released video shows a man getting repeatedly kicked and punched in what York Regional Police call a beating over an outstanding debt in an illegal Richmond Hill gaming den.

The video was captured by in-house video from the gaming den, Const. Andy Pattenden of York Regional Police said.

“It would appear as though they have their own security operation,” Pattenden said.

The video shows two men standing by while a muscular man with a shaved head and a goatee pummels a man beside a gaming table. One of the bystanders lights up a cigarette as the victim is kicked and punched.

The beating took place around 2 p.m. on June 9, 2017 in a commercial plaza at 9005 Leslie St., police said.

Police did not identify the man who was beaten except to say he was 28 years old.

The suspect is described by police as muscular and six-foot-three.

The video was just released by police after the investigation went cold.

“Investigators have exhausted all leads and are releasing video of the suspect and appealing to the public for assistance to identify him,” police said in a prepared statement.
