Streaker arrested at Disneyland’s It’s a Small World ride
A man was arrested at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, after he stripped off his clothes and climbed around in the It’s a Small World ride.
Park security called for Anaheim police’s assistance around 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
The man was completely naked by the time cops arrived, Anaheim Police Department spokesperson Jonathan McClintock said in a statement.
“Upon officers’ arrival, they arrested a 26-year-old man for indecent exposure and for being under the influence of a controlled substance,” McClintock said. The man was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
The man’s identity was not released and no other details were provided.
Videos taken by witnesses showed the man climbing around the attraction and running in the water canals at the It’s a Small World entrance. The ride was stopped while park employees tried to control the situation.
“He just looked out of it,” witness Maegan Carmona, who took video of the man, told Entertainment Weekly.
“He just didn’t look like he knew where he was. He looked worried.”
The ride, which features more than 300 animatronic singing dolls, was created for the New York World’s Fair in 1964 and opened at the California theme park in 1966.
The incident occurred less than a week after three people were injured at Disneyland when high winds knocked over a light pole in the Main Street, U.S.A., section.
