VideoA Perth security guard has been charged over a brutal bashing that left a shopper with missing teeth.

Shocking CCTV footage has emerged of three Belmont shopping centre security guards attacking a 31-year-old Uber driver.

Surender Singh says the guards turned off their body cameras and dragged him out of view from shoppers before the trio started punching and kicking him.

Some of Mr Singh’s front teeth were knocked out during the beating.

One of the guards, a 21-year-old man, has been sacked and is now facing criminal prosecution for the alleged attack.

Mr Singh says he was attacked after he had a disagreement with a shop attendant about returning an item.

“I thought I’d be dead, that they were going to kill me,” Mr Singh told 7NEWS.

“That’s all I was thinking that they were definitely going to kill me.”

Mr Singh says the ordeal only ended when he was pushed, barely conscious out of a fire escape, and into a car park.

That’s when a stranger ran over to help.

She stood between the victim and the security guards until paramedics arrived.

“She was pushing them back for me and she said ‘no you can't do that to him he’s almost dead’,” Mr Singh said.

Police say the force used by one guard was excessive.

Civil action has also been launched against MCS Security.
