ANAHEIM, CA — A family altercation that escalated into a violent brawl at Disneyland Resort's Toontown was caught on camera over the weekend. The disturbing video shows two men and two women pushing, punching and shoving one another while guests looked on.

The Anaheim Police Department reported this was a "family incident" with all parties members of the same group at the park.

During the incident, which lasted approximately five minutes, children and strollers were pushed out of the way while the family's grownups did battle in front of Goofy's house in the cartoon land. There was nothing comical or PG about the loud and harsh display.

One of the women was seen on film spitting in a man's face. He then began hitting at her and another man, the video shows.

Within 30 seconds, Disneyland cast members, both at the attraction and a member of the custodial staff, called for security backup.

Meanwhile, cooler heads attempted to prevail but the fight between the men and women continued to escalate for another four minutes of video.

The incident culminated with one woman being knocked to the ground. Guests attempted to intervene and pulled one man off a woman as he punched her repeatedly. They held the man down until security was able to take the family away.

"Anaheim Police arrived at the park and took a report from all of the family members," Sgt. Daron Wyatt told Patch. "Everyone was uncooperative and didn't want anything done."

No charges were filed and no arrests were made. Officials escorted all of the involved guests from the park. It was not known if alcohol was a factor in this incident, according to Wyatt.

With no video available at the time of the incident, no arrests were made. Now that the video has been brought to light, "detectives will follow up to see if any criminal charges can be filed," Wyatt said.

Disneyland officials said, in a statement, that they "do not condone this behavior."
