A disturbing incident unfolded at Disneyland, the renowned theme park in Anaheim, California, over the weekend. A group of adults were caught on camera engaging in a violent brawl near the Mad Tea Party ride. The video, which was shared on Instagram, shows at least five individuals, both men and women, involved in the altercation, throwing punches, kicks, and wrestling each other, all in close proximity to several children.
The cause of the fight remains unclear. The video footage shows the participants so engrossed in the brawl that they nearly toppled a baby stroller. The Anaheim police department confirmed their involvement in the incident, stating that they assisted Disneyland Resort Security in responding to the fight.
According to an official statement, no arrests were made at the scene, and the incident is still under investigation. Disneyland, when contacted, did not immediately provide a comment on the incident.
The fight caused panic among families present at the park, often referred to as “The Happiest Place on Earth,” leading them to scramble for safety. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred at the park. Last year, Disney had to issue a reminder to guests to maintain decorum and refrain from fighting, following an increase in similar incidents.
In a related incident earlier this year, two individuals were banned from Walt Disney World after they assaulted another family who requested them to move out of the way for a photo opportunity.
This recent incident raises concerns about the safety and security measures in place at such popular tourist destinations, where families and children are present in large numbers. It also underscores the need for visitors to respect the park’s rules and maintain a peaceful environment for everyone to enjoy.
