Criminal charges have been dropped against a Florida Memorial University student who last month got into a fracas captured on video with several campus security guards.

The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office said Wednesday that 19-year-old Emory Mitchell will not be charged with three counts of felony battery because the victim in the incident, a campus security guard, failed to show up for three scheduled meetings to formalize charges.

The original charges stem from an incident on Oct. 19 after a security guard saw Mitchell allegedly smoking marijuana on campus.

The unidentified guard approached Mitchell and asked for identification, according to Miami Gardens police.

Mitchell fled into a nearby bathroom, with the guard in pursuit. Two other guards followed.

``A fight ensued in the bathroom with the two guards wrestling with the defendant,'' police said

While the guards and Mitchell were scuffling inside the bathroom, a group of students gathered in the hall outside the door and one began taping the incident with a cellphone video camera.

The video shows one woman shouting, ``The security guards are beating him up!'' Another screams, ``Do something!''

A male student standing by the door replies: ``They locked the door, what do you want me to do?''

A few seconds later in the edited video clip, a guard rushes out of the bathroom and roughs up another student standing nearby.

A second guard then comes out of the bathroom, takes his gun out of his holster, points it toward the crowd and then returns it to the holster.

Mitchell was arrested and later released. He said he is fighting his suspension from the university stemming from the incident.

The guards are subcontracted by Allied Barton Security Services, a private security firm.
