Learn English – word for “to be physically removed from” a public place, involuntarily

single-word-requests

I'm looking for a single word that means to be "physically removed from".

Imagine someone is being annoying in a public place, and refuses to leave when asked, so he is physically removed from the building. I'm looking for a single word.

Some of the ideas I had for words that may fit in are

Removed

The beggar was removed from the restaurant.

I don't think this would work, because I want emphasis on that the beggar was taken and tossed out.

Thrown

The beggar was thrown from the restaurant.

This one is alright, but I'm looking for something even more specific. Both of those words were what I could think of. I'm not too sure if there even is anything that fits better than "thrown", but I'm hoping there is an alternative.

(Dictionary.com)

I think this word works best, since under the entry's example uses, is a usage of the word eject in the removal of someone from a hotel.

Hotels can deny entry, gyms can deny access, and restaurants can eject you without consequence.
