2 families come to blows over photo-op at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Florida cops say
A brawl broke out between two families over a photo opportunity at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, according to a Florida sheriff’s office.
Deputies responded to the theme park near Orlando at around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, May 15, according to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
A family standing near a “50th Anniversary” sign at the park’s entrance was posing for a photograph when a second, larger family walked up to the same area, the statement says.
Someone asked the second family to move out of the way so that the first family could have their photo taken, according to the sheriff’s office.
At that point, a member of the family that was asked to move punched a member of the first family in the face, the sheriff’s office said.
“... the fight ensued from there,” the statement says.
One person received medical treatment at the scene but did not want to press charges, according to the sheriff’s office. Two members of the larger family were escorted away from the park.
