Video: Massive brawl erupts at Disney World between families waiting in line, one hospitalized in Magic Kingdom fight



Video surfaced of a fight at "the most magical place on Earth" shortly before 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. A massive brawl erupted at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, landing one person in the hospital.

Two families engaged in a donnybrook at the theme park in Orlando, Florida. WOFL reported that the brawl took place inside Fantasyland behind Cinderella's Castle and in front of Peter Pan’s Flight.

According to the blog Walt Disney World News Today:

The guest and their family were in line for Mickey’s PhilharMagic when one member realized their phone was left in their ECV (Electric Conveyance Vehicles), so she exited to retrieve it. On her way back in, the family in matching apparel denied to let her pass back to her family, pushing her back so they could let the line move a bit further along.

A shouting match ensued between the two families.

"Listen man, we don’t want trouble, we don’t appreciate you guys pushing my younger sister," one family member told the other family.

Shortly after, the families got into a fight outside the theater.

A witness told WOFL, "We came upon it, and it appeared as though it took about two minutes for two security personnel to arrive. Deputies arrived probably about five minutes after that."

Three people were arrested for misdemeanor battery. A man was hospitalized with a facial laceration.

A spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, "Deputies conducted their investigation and subsequently arrested three people for misdemeanor battery. One person was taken to the hospital for a minor injury.”

In May, there was another fight at Walt Disney World when guests got into a brawl over standing locations for the fireworks. On May 9, a woman suffered a head injury after a woman reportedly grabbed another woman by her hair and dragged her to the ground in a dispute over personal space to watch fireworks, according to WOFL.

LA 'Super-Spreader Task Force' detains over 900, arrests and fines nearly 100 revelers during NYE raids



The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department cracked down on New Year's Eve parties by deploying its "Super-Spreader Task Force." The strict clampdown resulted in hundreds of partygoers being detained, arrested, and fined.

The Superspreader Task Force was comprised of "hundreds of detectives, patrol deputies, and Specialized Response Teams." The coronavirus lockdown enforcers crashed five large NYE parties in Los Angeles, Malibu, Hawthorne, and Pomona. The "illegal" celebrations were held in speakeasy locations such as upscale homes, vacant warehouses, a DoubleTree hotel, and shuttered businesses.

Los Angeles news station KTTV-TV was on the scene on many of the parties that were broken up by police. Based on the footage, most of the offenders appeared to be in their late teens and early 20s.

Over 900 people were detained, 90 were arrested and/or given citations. Law enforcement announced that they recovered at least six guns.

"I have made it clear that we will seek out and take law enforcement action against all 'Super-Spreader' events occurring anywhere within Los Angeles County," Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said. "The goal of these enforcement actions is to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the risk to our vulnerable populations."

LASD Captain Holly Francisco said, "We are actively enforcing the superspreaders to protect against COVID. Once we confirmed there was a party here, we had our super spreader task force respond and detain the occupants."

Lt. John Satterfield stated, "We're going ahead and writing citations to the people that knowingly placed others in jeopardy by having a large gathering. There was no social distancing, there were no masks, it was unsafe and irresponsible."

One frustrated New Year's Eve reveler told KTTV, "We're tired of closing this sh** down, my people have lost businesses and all that sh**, and we really just wanted some fresh air, man, that's what's going on we wanted some fresh air, they come out with the tanks and all man, sh** is crazy."

Last month, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) told his constituents to expect more COVID-19 lockdowns, going so far as to say, "It's time to cancel everything."
