It has been discovered that a massive brawl that broke out last week at Florida’s DisneyWorld after a family attempted to stop a woman from joining her family in the line resulted in arrests, a hospitalisation, and lifetime bans from the park.
More video of the 10-person brawl at the kids’ theme park, when punches were thrown and profanities were yelled, reveals that both families were waiting in line for Mickey’s PhilharMagic.
According to WDWNT, a member of one family went to get her phone off an electric scooter, but when she went back to the line, members of another family, who were all wearing white shirts and red shorts, blocked her and shoved the young woman.
One family member told the news source that the two members of the other family were supposedly detained, while the family of the woman who returned to the line received a lifetime DisneyWorld ban.
Several of those engaged had scratches and bruises, and one was brought to the hospital in an ambulance with significant chin lacerations.
Last week, the initial video went viral on social media as Disney employees and other guests attempted to step in and stop it.
The woman who attempted to rejoin the line was pushed by her relatives, who can be heard saying: “Listen, man, we don’t want conflict; we don’t like you guys pushing my younger sister.”
At that point, the argument turned into a brawl that has subsequently gained widespread attention.
After a while, the girl who was pushed’s brother started pushing back, which is when the altercation erupted.
Two Disney “cast members” and numerous other guests can be seen attempting to break up the altercation in the new video footage.
Although this could not be confirmed, several reports claimed that one group may have stolen or destroyed a number of opponents’ personal belongings, including designer clothing and cell phones.
The incident’s video instantly went viral on social media but was later taken down from the video sharing app TikTok.
Reduced-length videos of the altercation have been circulating on Twitter and Facebook ever since.
They demonstrate how the pandemonium left trash and garments all over the place as terrified parents tried to protect their children from the chaos.
Shortly after, paramedics, Reedy Creek Fire Department, and Orange County Sheriffs were all summoned to the area to help treat injuries and diffuse the situation.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, there have been many more instances of mob violence at Disney parks, with the Florida resort reporting more than a half-dozen cases this year alone.
