Anaheim, CA (USA Today) -- There was a momentary lapse in the magic at Disneyland this weekend when a security officer had to use pepper spray repeatedly to bring down a belligerent man near the Tower of Terror, KTLA reports.

In a four-minute video posted on YouTube, Glenn Horlacher, 53, is shown fighting with security even after he was brought to his knees with the spray.

Other parkgoers at Disney California Adventure Park on Saturday afternoon eventually step in to restrain him.

"Do you know you're at Disneyland? There are kids here! Stop!" one woman can be heard shouting on the video. "What are you, drunk?"

Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn tells KTLA that Horlacher was booked for assault and battery.

Disney California Adventure Park issued a statement saying that the security officer was treated at a hospital for injuries sustained in the fracas and released, KTLA reports.

Disney also expressed appreciation for guests "who came to his aid during this uncharacteristic incident."
