A father needed stitches in his face after he was beaten up for telling another group not to cut the line for the Indiana Jones Adventure ride at Disneyland.
The brawl unfolded in front of several screaming children, and witnesses said a man whose family cut into the line attacked the father after he tried to stand up to him.
Bystanders said the father was visiting the Anaheim theme park in California from Washington state, and he was beaten as his 17-year-old daughter watched in horror.
‘There were several people intervening to stop the guy (who cut the line),’ wrote Reddit user ImaginaryBag.
‘He managed to get some hits in, even with people blocking. Then he stepped back a bit so others did too.
‘That’s when he jumped in for one last sucker punch, which drew blood, and then he ran off with his family following.’
A woman who said she was the wife of the man who was struck shared a photograph of his injuries, including a deep gash just above his eye, which had been stitched up.
‘Hey guys…soooo that was my husband getting hit,’ she wrote alongside the image posted on Reddit.

‘He refused to hit back (which took a lot of discipline) because he didn’t want the rest of the family [to] get kicked or us blacklisted.
‘The security and CM took care of my kids while I left with my hubby as he got checked out and got a wicked scar with serious dad lore.’
His daughter also shared an image of herself with her father after he received medical treatment from Disneyland staff. He is seen grinning with a bandage on his forehead.
Anaheim Police confirmed to KTLA5 that the fight lasted roughly 30 seconds, shocking holidaymakers at the theme park, including many children.
‘A group of people were waiting in line at Indiana Jones when another group cut through the line to catch up with other family members,’ said Police Sergeant Matt Sutter.
Sutter said the attacker fled Disneyland after the brawl and had not been detained as of Monday afternoon, but investigators believe he is a Southern California resident.

‘There are two sides to every story, so we need to hear from him (and) what happened from his point of view,’ Sutter said.
It came on the same day a different type of horror struck an Indiana Jones attraction at another Disneyland park.
A 400-pound inflatable boulder prop rolled off its track during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida on December 30.
It bounced from the track and struck an employee who tried to stop it rolling into the audience, as shown in a horrifying video.
The scene the actors were attempting to recreate was when Indiana Jones outruns a boulder that rolls from a booby trap in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
