What's a 'bouncer'?

A bouncer is a security guard employed at a pub, club, or event to maintain order and ensure the safety of patrons. Their job includes checking IDs, managing queues, and dealing with disruptive behaviour. The incident in Wellington involving Harry Brook and a bouncer shows how these interactions can sometimes escalate.
