A Universal Studios Hollywood guest was caught on video punching a Team Member in the face after he allegedly threw his wife to the ground.
Guest Punches Universal Team Member
The incident took place in the park’s Lower Lot, outside Revenge of the Mummy and Transformers: The Ride 3D. The video, at the bottom of this article, was shared by Instagram user @foosgonedisney. It was sent to them by user @big_blur_. The original post of the video, whether by @big_blur_ or another user, is no longer available.
At the start of the video, a woman wearing a red puffer jacket stands up from the ground. Universal Studios Hollywood custodians (in green jackets) comfort a sobbing child as their father yells, “Let go of my kids! Let go of my kids!” He takes his two children’s hands and starts walking away, through the crowd, as the Team Members follow. One of the children, still crying, calls out for her mother.
The woman in the puffer jacket is their mother and the man’s wife. The video’s original caption reportedly stated the man was “throwing his wife around” before the video started and that’s why she was on the ground.
As the woman catches up to her family, the Team Members stop them outside the Studio Cafe. The man yells, “What? What? You following me? For what? For what reason? You’ve no reason!” One of the Team Members talks to him but, the conversation is too quiet to hear in the video. The man states, “I’m going home,” despite walking in the opposite direction from the park’s exit.
As the Team Member continues talking, the guest lets go of his daughter’s hand and punches the Team Member in the face. The Team Member stumbles back as his co-workers jump between the pair. One of the Team Members is then on the phone, likely calling security.
The guest yells, “Follow me, motherf*****, follow me!”
The Team Members tell their co-worker who was punched to step back, saying, “You don’t want to get fired.” The video ends as the family and Team Members appear to start walking towards the escalators that lead to the Upper Lot and the exit of the park.
The original caption of the post reported that the woman pressed charges against her husband and informed police he had an unregistered gun in his car, but we can’t be sure this is true. No further information is available at this time.
