A U.K. schoolboy died after he was allegedly punched by a club promoter after he yelled “one day you'll work for me,” according to reports.

Archie Lloyd, 18, was celebrating the end of his exams in Greece when he got involved in a confrontation and was hit by a man working as a promoter.

Witnesses say that Sebastian Trabucattil, the bouncer, struck Lloyd, reported The Independent. Trabucattil was accompanied by two women on mopeds. They also said that Lloyd and his friend Andy Hutchinson “didn’t want trouble.” In testimony, Hutchinson said that the moped drivers sped past them and sounded their horns as they were walking toward a taxi. They insulted the drivers and the promoter got off his bike and pushed Lloyd three times.

Hutchinson said that the groups traded insults with each other, but he insisted that there was no violence until Trabucattil stopped his moped and pushed the two.

They said, “We have been left totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful brother and son but we know he will live on in all those who were ever fortunate enough to have met him.”

“Archie was ready to take on the world, realizing his dreams to study at university and travel when he tragically died.

“He had his whole life ahead of him when, on a harmless night out, everything went tragically wrong and so many lives have been shattered as a result.”
