But Dan Doussept plans to take matters further and ask police to investigate potential criminal charges against the security guards whom he said used unnecessary force against him.

“I want to follow up,” the 31-year-old said Sunday. “Why is it that they are allowed to use this type of force?”

Doussept said the incident began when he sat down on an escalator, a security guard told him to stand up, and a verbal argument ensued in a mall vestibule.

Doussept said he then went outside, threw away a coffee cup, and waved goodbye to the guards, who were “about five or six feet” away from him.

“I put my hand up just to wave goodbye, and they charged me,” he said. “They didn’t say we think you’re threatening us, or anything. They just came at me.”

Doussept said he went to a hospital emergency room after the incident with wounds to his face, back and hands.

He said he still had a severe headache on Sunday and worried he may have a concussion.
