A father was savagely beaten during a bloody Disneyland brawl after he confronted a family who were trying to cut the line for the Indiana Jones ride, his traumatized relatives claim.
The dad, who hasn’t been identified publicly, was brutally attacked at the Anaheim amusement park while he was waiting for the ride with his teenage daughter on Tuesday, according to his family.
The beatdown, which the victim’s relatives detailed in a Reddit thread, left the man in need of multiple stitches and covered in bruises.
The chaos erupted just before 1 p.m. when the alleged assailant flew into a rage after he and his family were accused of trying to skip the line.
Horrified witnesses recalled seeing the perp, who was wearing light-green sweatpants, pummeling the father for roughly a minute as he cowered on the ground.
“It was incredibly traumatizing, and the dude who assaulted the man ran off,” one witness detailed in the Reddit post.
The dad “was covered in blood on his face and Disney staff closed the line and sent staff to scrub blood off the floor in multiple spots.”
A man with a white bandage on his forehead and a young woman smiling, both wearing white ponchos, are in a crowd at Disneyland's Indiana Jones ride. The dad, pictured after the attack, was pummeled in front of his teen daughter. “I thought the guy was going to die,” the witness added.
The victim’s daughter was overheard screaming “stop hitting my dad” during the attack, the onlookers said.
A teen, who identified herself as the victim’s daughter, later posted a picture with her dad on Reddit showing them smiling at the park, even though the man has a large bandage on his head.

I think so.
My stock answer to that and sports and Hollywood is—that this country has an absolute insatiable appetite to be entertained. Very sad.
Doesn’t sound like a fight. Sounds like a one-side beatdown over nothing. Hope the perp does time.
Yeah. Because getting your head kicked in is better than never going back to the place where your head was kicked in.
I’ve gotten old, fat and lazy too but I don’t call it “evolved.”
what’s the Coulter rule?? please and thank u.
Years ago Ann Coulter pointed out that the media always gives the violent attacker's race if he's white. If they don't tell you the attacker's race then he's probably not white. Hence us conservatives call it the "Coulter rule".
“Happiest place on Earth”
Gonna be a little tough holding that title, if this kind of thing keeps up.
Not the first such incident, by any means.
okay thank u!!!! She ain’t wrong :(
When I was in Los Angeles nearly two years ago, I went to the Reagan and Nixon libraries and museums, the Huntington, the Getty, and a few other places. The cost of most if not all of the tickets I bought probably would have equaled the cost of one adult into Disneyland, lol.
The perp was wearing light green pants.
No other description.
I had one family tell me how much they spent on going to Disneyland. A couple years of that = a new car or house renovation.
What a waste of money.
Yeah. Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded. :-)
“Happiest place on Earth”
My house...with the doors locked.
A comment at the linked article...
“Based on the act of cutting the line, the 0-100 escalation, the deliberate lack of a description and the omission of any security footage; 51 intelligence experts concur that this has all the earmarks of “them again”.”
It's not always "them" ... but it's "them" so often as to clearly indicate that "they" have some severe cultural problems.
The entire Anaheim area went to hell when the all the greedy hotel owners surrounding that gawdy amusement park hired nothing but illegal low wage servants.
Make him ride its a small world over and over again for a year
I preferred Disneyland before it was Disneyland. In 1954 we visited my uncle’s chicken ranch, which my mother described as being “way out in the country.” After a big dinner, we stayed overnight, and I was awakened by a strange sound that turned out to be roosters crowing, which I was hearing for the first time in my life.
Much later, I found out that this ranch, located “way out in the country,” was on the site of Disneyland.
Yes! Suffered through that ride at least once. :_)
