HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Police are looking for a man who they say became unruly at a bikini bar and exchanged gunfire with the security guard.

The security guard kicked the man out of the Divas Bikini Bar and Grill in east Houston earlier in the evening, but the customer came back around 3am and confronted the guard in the parking lot and started shooting.

The security guard fired back. Both men missed, but police say an innocent bystander was shot in the foot.

"The security guard loaded him in his vehicle and drove him to the hospital. He was shot in the foot. He is expected to survive," Houston Police Lt. Larry Crowson said.

Police say the suspect took off in a dark pick up truck.
