Naked Man Arrested At Disneyland After Stripping Clothes Off On ‘It’s A Small World’ Ride

The 26-year-old was arrested and charged on suspicion of indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance

A water ride at Disneyland named ‘It’s A Small World’ may have triggered a visitor to the park to strip naked on Nov. 26.

According to The Orange County Register, a 26-year-old man removed his clothes at the park. After being seen in just his underwear, he removed them and waded into the water before patrons and park workers discovered him. He was later apprehended by police officers and carried out of Disneyland by law enforcement officials.

The scene was captured by several camera phones, and various people posted it to social media platforms.

Police officers from the Anaheim Police Department went to the park after receiving a phone call at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, informing them that a man was nude at the ‘It’s a Small World’ attraction at the park, according to Anaheim Police spokesperson Sgt. Jon McClintock.

A compilation video posted by X user Hunter Kost shows the moment the suspect entered the area and then took off his clothes when he stripped down to his underwear. He is seen sitting in the water a moment later, then nude, walking in a tunnel as a park worker goes after him. Before the clip ends, it shows the suspect being carried out by his arms and feet by police officers, taking him out of the park to book him.

The unidentified man was arrested and charged on suspicion of indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to McClintock. He was then taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

Deadline reported that the ride was closed for about an hour as inspectors at Disneyland checked it out. The ride was re-opened at about 3 p.m. local time.
