The incident, which went viral on social media, occurred over the weekend when the women claimed they were attacked by a male clubgoer who accused them of recording him without permission.
One of the victims appeared in a video with blood streaming from her head, while another was shown with a missing front tooth, allegedly the result of being punched in the face.
A third victim recounted being shoved down a flight of stairs, stripped naked, and brutally beaten by the man and members of his entourage.
