LOS ANGELES — Two men and a woman face several criminal charges after a family’s fight at Disneyland turned violent and a video of the brawl went viral on social media.
Anaheim police said officers were called to the theme park to help investigate the July 5 melee, which began between a brother and sister but quickly involved other family members.

Charges of Battery, Assault

The Orange County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday that Avery Desmond-Edwinn Robinson, his sister Andrea Robinson and her husband Daman Petrie all face a series of charges, including battery and assault.

Andrea Robinson’s husband, Daman Petrie, faces a misdemeanor charge of battery for allegedly hitting Avery Robinson’s girlfriend, prosecutors said.

Anaheim police who came to the park didn’t see the video. The next day, police detectives saw the video, which led to the opening of a criminal investigation.
