BUENA PARK, CA — Two guests were arrested Saturday night at Knott’s Berry Farm after a violent altercation at the amusement park in Orange County, according to a park spokesperson and partial video of the incident published by KTLA.
The video shows the guests and a security guard, who is hit by one of the guests, but then takes the guest to the ground as those looking on cheer and applaud.
A witness told KTLA a guest had tried to cut the line and been denied, later giving the security guard a nosebleed.

“The park is committed to providing a safe and orderly environment for all guests and does not tolerate inappropriate behavior,” a park spokesperson said in a prepared statement.
“All guests are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct to maintain our family-friendly environment. Last evening, Buena Park PD arrested two guests who violated our Code of Conduct.”
The altercation is the second time this month that a line-cutting incident at a Southern California theme park led to violence. A violent brawl also broke out at Disneyland, leading to a police investigation.
