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.

The Usual Suspects
Yogi? Was it them?
Cutting in line, flying into a rage, continuing to beat his victim on the ground.
Pattern recognition.
The guy said he didn’t want to fight back cuz they might kick him and his family out of the park.
I don’t know why anyone goes to Disneyland even without the threat of being attacked. You have to mortgage your house to afford it. The lines are extremely long. Its overcrowded. Food and lodging is a ripoff. And then you have people who can cut in line legally with a superpass. My step-brother and his family used to go every two years and it cost them a fortune. I never understood it.
No ticket.
I have never been to either of their parks. And I shan’t go.
Anyone would have been able to recognize the perp because he was wearing light green sweatpants.
That's the same as saying the victim was white and the attacker was black (or "of color").
I evolved as I got older...now I prefer a 5 star Hotel with all the finer things they can provide.
Agreed. Give me Disneyland circa 1968 (my first visit) and I’d happily go.
It could be Peter Pan.
I went to Disneyland in 1965 and again in 2005. Not due to go again until 2045.
I don’t get it either. It’s real loser stuff. I want nothing to do with Disney or Disney +. Won’t allow any Disney sh*t in my home.
Maybe a boat ride down the Missouri.
Coulter rule
Most likely.
