A day meant for family fun at Knott’s Berry Farm turned into a viral spectacle as a theme park employee was bloodied while wrestling a confrontational guest to the ground after she allegedly cut the line.

The video, obtained by KTLA, captured a chaotic scene near an entrance area of the iconic Orange County amusement park Saturday, where one visitor was seen swinging at a security guard, leaving the employee with a nosebleed.

The same guard then forced the woman to the pavement, restrained her and directed her to put her hands behind her back. A third woman also got involved, trying to deescalate the drama.

The incident reportedly began when the rowdy guest tried to cut the line and was stopped by park staff. Amid the tense scene, bystanders shouted and cheered as the rule breaker was ultimately taken down.

The two guests seen in the footage were both reported to have been arrested by the Buena Park Police Department on Saturday night,  having violated the park’s “code of conduct,” which prohibits “offensive behavior” and “disruptive actions.”

“Knott’s staff did an excellent job in deescalating the situation, and made it less traumatic then it was even if her nose was bleeding and she was getting assaulted by the lady she did not use pepper spray or violence, she quickly got her on the floor,” a witness told KTLA.

Knott’s Berry Farm has struggled with unruly behavior in recent years.

The park implemented a chaperone policy for minors in April of 2023, where all guests 15-years-old and below must have a chaperone “who is at least 21-years-old” to be there.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Knott’s Berry Farm confirmed the incident, noting that the troublemakers were removed from the park and underscored their responsibility to ensure a “safe and orderly environment for all guests.”
