A diner has claimed he was beaten until bloody by security after his family tried to take a photo on his daughter’s 21st birthday at a Miami hotspot where Lionel Messi and the Beckhams were partying, it was revealed today.

Security reacted angrily to the unnamed guest at Gekko restaurant, which is owned by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and nightclub impresario David Grutman, on Friday.

The victim was accused of trying to photograph Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo, which he denied, claiming: ‘They jumped at us, they kicked me out and punched me in the face.

‘Just because my homeboy was trying to take a picture with his wife, not with Beckham or Messi, nothing. It was a family thing’.

Security kicked him out and allegedly attacked him while outside, resulting in his bloodied and bruised face. In footage of the chaotic aftermath, a woman can be heard hysterically yelling: ‘He’s a family man, celebrating his daughter’s 21st birthday.’

An exclusive DailyMail.com video showed Victoria Beckham rushing her 12-year-old daughter Harper out then embracing her before putting her in a security-driven SUV.

Messi and Antonela were dining at the Japanese steakhouse alongside fellow Inter Miami stars Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and the Beckham family, at around 10pm on Friday. Antonela had posed for pictures with her footballer husband and Victoria before the violence broke out.

The security reportedly mistakenly believed the man was photographing the celebs. They kicked him out and allegedly attacked him while outside. He said that he was just taking a family shot and denied he was trying to snap Messi or the Beckhams

A source close to the Beckhams told MailOnline that the couple had a ‘great evening’ and found out about the brawl the next day.

The unidentified man claimed that when he tried to take a photo with his family, he was abruptly thrown out of the establishment before getting a jab to the face.

He said Messi was in one corner, and his friend and his wife were in the opposite area taking photos.

A woman was later heard yelling out to the bouncer who is believed to have been the culprit behind the beat down.

‘How dare you! Where’s the manager? How f****** dare you! That’s f****** crazy!’ she exclaimed.

‘Someone needs to get fired,’ she cried out as the men in her party call the bouncer a ‘b****.’

Victoria posted some pictures from the night on Instagram and wrote: ‘I LOVE MIAMI!!! So much fun last night!!! Kisses @DavidBeckham @AntonelaRoccuzzo @Leo Messi xxxx’.

Grutman, meanwhile, shared pictures of himself with the new stars of US soccer, captioning the images ‘casual Friday’.

He is friends with the Beckham family and has been seen at several Miami games at the DRV PNK Stadium since Messi arrived to play for the team last month.

He has had a front-row seat to what has been a meteoric impact by the Argentinian on the Miami team, which plays Philadelphia Union on Tuesday night for a place in the final.

It was Messi’s teammate that gave Miami the lead over Charlotte on Friday night, scoring a penalty in the 12th minute.

Robert Taylor doubled the lead 20 minutes later with his third goal for the team since Messi joined the squad.

It got to 3-0 in the 78th minute with an own goal from Adilson Malanda put the game out of reach for Charlotte – he was stretching to intercept a pass across the goal and inadvertently stuck it past his own goalkeeper.

It was Messi who rounded out the scoring with a goal of his, converting from close range with a thunderous left-footed strike and the ball had been cut back into the area.

Busquets, who was pictured posing for selfie with Grutman at the restaurant on Friday night, said after the that it is ‘beautiful’ to play with Messi again.

Miami coach Tata Martino meanwhile insisted that it isn’t solely down to Messi that the team has started to improve its form. Friday’s win over Charlotte was Miami’s biggest in 2023.

‘It’s not just Leo – we have found different ways of being able to score,’ Martino said.

But Charlotte coach Christian Lattanzio could not help but focus on the Messi impact after the game.

‘When you have Messi, you know he just needs a chance. He just needs one second,’ he said.

‘You have to be very sharp to stop him from producing the magic he’s been producing since he went to Barcelona when he was 16.’

Messi, Busquets and Alba return to Miami action on Tuesday night against Philadelphia Union, bidding for a place in next weekend’s Leagues Cup final.

The Union is at home for that game, hosting Miami at Union Park.
