Disneyland Visitor Robbed and Assaulted in Isolated Anaheim Corridor

An unverified social media post detailing the attack has prompted calls for increased police patrols in low-traffic areas near Disneyland.

Overview

The assault took place on August 13 in a low-foot-traffic passage between Disneyland Resort and Angel Stadium known as the “black circle area.”
The visitor’s post says the assailant demanded their phone and delivered three punches before the guest fled the scene.
No official police statement has been released, leaving the account unconfirmed by law enforcement.
Experts and local outlets are advising guests to use well-lit main roads, group travel, and designated rideshare or shuttle services after park hours.
Tourism operators warn that safety fears among visitors could affect how first-time and international guests navigate off-property routes.
