California authorities announced Monday that it has reopened an investigation into Saturday's fight at Disneyland after a video apparently reporting the incident became viral on social media.
A video posted on YouTube Sunday seems to show several people fighting at Mickey's Toontown in front of children and other parking enthusiasts. A spokeswoman for Disneyland Resort told KTLA that the people involved in the fight had been removed from the park and handed over to the police.
At the beginning of the video, a woman and a man dressed in a red t-shirt argue when the woman spits on the man, prompting the man to hit her. The woman, who had a stroller with her at the time, asks someone to monitor her children before engaging in a physical altercation.

Then we see another man engaging in a fight with the man in the red t-shirt. A series of fights take place over several minutes. The cameras were spinning when a woman in a motorized scooter, presumably the man's mother's red t-shirt, was knocked over as she was trying to dispel the situation when two other women started fighting each other.
The man in the red t-shirt was seen attacking another woman before he was shot by a group of men. Before the end of the video, we can see the man getting up and demanding to know who has smothered him while the security of the park invades the region.
APD is aware of a viral video of a fight in the interior @ Disneyland the Saturday. We responded to investigate. All parties were from the same family and did not cooperate. A report has been taken. There was no video at the time. Now that we have the video, the investigation can continue

Jason Blair, a football coach at a Texas high school, is one of three visitors who took the man to the ground. He told KFOX that he and his wife had helped the scooter user take off and that he was disappointed that more people were not getting involved.
"I did not understand why people were recording and helping," he said. "Without doubt, I would do it again. When something is wrong, you must intervene.
Anaheim police tweeted that the people involved in Saturday's fight were close relatives. They claimed that they had been initially treated not aware of the video but resumed their investigation in the light of new evidence.
Anaheim Police Sgt. Daron Wyatt told KTLA: "We did not have the luxury of watching a video at that time, so we wrote a report to document it."
Wyatt then told the television channel that officials were planning to file a child-safety or family-related complaint.
