A search of the Two Keys Tavern has allegedly revealed video footage of an attack Saturday at the College Park Road bar, according to police.

Officers were called to Trident Medical Center after 6 a.m. Saturday regarding a man injured in what he and other witnesses allege was an assault by Two Keys Tavern staff over money they claimed that he owed for gambling on pool games.

Goose Creek investigators presented on Wednesday in hopes of preserving any evidence related to the alleged incident.

"During the execution of the search warrant, investigators seized a video recording system that captured the battery of a patron by an individual wielding a pool cue," said GCPD Capt. John Grainger in a statement.

Because of technical issues, the video was not available for release Thursday afternoon, but is expected to be released as soon as possible.

In statement Tuesday, Two Keys Tavern owner Mark Keller said the manager and employees allegedly involved had been suspended while he determined what happened.

"Until that time, we can't elaborate further, since we just don't know enough, but we will get to the bottom of it," Keller said. "We have a loyal clientele we value and want to continue to serve. They and others can rest assured that we won't rest until we sort out what exactly happened and get this resolved."
