Woman Gets Jumped At Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA, Sent To Hospital

JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. — Police said they were looking for the people involved in a fight at Busch Gardens Williamsburg Sunday that left three other people hurt.

Stephanie Williams-Ortery, the spokeswoman for the James City Police Department, said its officers went to the theme park around 7:50 p.m. after they received a call about the fight. When they got there, medics from Busch Gardens were treating the people who had been hurt.

One person had severe swelling and a cut near her eye. The second person had a small cut to the right of her eye, marks on her arms, and swelling on her face. The third person had a red mark on her upper thigh. Williams-Ortery said medics took one of the people to the hospital.

People who recorded what happened shared the videos on a number of platforms, including Alexis Snyder:

The combined videos show someone putting a hand around the neck of a woman in SpongeBob SquarePants shirt, while another person whacks her. One of the people slams her against a wall before moving her towards an entrance/exit.

At that point, a woman with a cane, who appears to be with the woman in the SpongeBob SquarePants shirt, starts arguing with some of the people already seen in the videos.

Someone pushes the woman with the cane against a support before bending her backward over a railing. Then, two people choke, slap, and/or punch her.

The woman in the SpongeBob SquarePants shirt returns to provide backup for the woman with the cane. She finds herself being pulled away, held down, and beaten. The entire time, there is screaming and yelling taking place. People help get two children out of the way of what is taking place.

Williams-Ortery said officers don't know who the people responsible for the attack were. They could not find them in the park.
