If a bouncer, on their own (not at an employer’s direction), assaults a person who is a patron of a bar or club, the bouncer can be sued by the patron for the patron’s injuries. So, if the patron believed that walking away would result in violence or harm because of threatened violence, that can be enough to make the detention total even if there was an avenue of escape. However, the patron must have been aware of the reasonable manner of escape and must have been capable of acting. For example, a person who can leave a confined area by simply opening a door or walking away is not confined.
