2A guest who was arrested for attacking a Cast Member at Magic Kingdom has dropped their lawsuit against Disney.
Marc Rubin, from New York, was detained after an altercation with a cast member who asked him to move three feet back for a parade to come through. According to the Orange County Sheriffs’ report, Rubin screamed in the Disney employee’s face, grabbing her shirt collar and threatening to punch her in the face. Rubin denied the allegations and stated they had been unlawfully detained by Disney security falsely accused of battery.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Rubin claimed if he moved, he would be separated from his family who had left his side to go to a nearby kiosk. In the lawsuit, Rubin stated he had been planning on proposing to his girlfriend that evening, and instead, he got arrested.
