A 26-year-old man in the US was arrested on Sunday after he stripped down naked at Disneyland's 'It's a Small World' ride. According to NBC News, the incident took place in Anaheim, California, during the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The 26-year-old suspect was arrested and escorted off the property by local authorities after he removed all his clothes during the ride. He has been accused of indecent exposure, police said.
"Upon officers' arrival, they arrested a 26-year-old man for indecent exposure and for being under the influence of a controlled substance. The man was taken to a hospital as a precaution," police said, as per the outlet.
'It's a Small World' ride was shut down for about an hour following the incident. No guests were harmed physically during the incident and the ride resumed operations at about 3pm (local time), Deadline reported.
Videos and pictures of the incident went viral on social media. One clip showed the man walking through the sets of the ride without a shirt on. Another showed the person sitting and touching the decorations of the ride located within the Fantasyland area of Disneyland Park.
"We noticed he started climbing onto the different parts of the ride, and we noticed that he was undressed," a Disneyland guest told Entertainment Weekly. "He just looked out of it," they said, adding that at least four cast members tried to help him get down from the ride's structure while it was stopped. "He just didn't look like he knew where he was. He looked worried. My friends and I had seen him, and it looked like he was going to jump on us," the guest said.

A Disneyland Resort representative told Deadline that the man got off the attraction while it was in motion and park operators stopped the ride when they became aware of the situation. The man was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and for being under the influence of a controlled substance, cops said.
