Assault at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Disney's Animal KingdomFlorida local news stations are reporting this morning that an incident took place in Disney's Animal Kingdom between two workers last night that ended in one of them being doused with gasoline and threatened with being set alight.

The fight started when the two contractors got into an argument whilst cleaning the black rhino exhibit in the park. One of the contractors, 33 year old Stephen Kim, poured gasoline over 22 year old Brian Hoffman and proceeded to threaten him with a lighter. When that didn't work, he swapped the lighter for a shovel.

Kim was taken to Orange County Jail on Wednesday and will appear before a judge on Thursday on an Aggravated Assault charge.
