Man Arrested at Magic Kingdom After Witness Alleges He Slammed Child in Restroom
A witness affidavit describing repeated blows and visible blood prompted Orange County deputies to detain the man and open an investigation with charging decisions still pending.
Overview
- Orange County deputies took 38-year-old Justin Taylor into custody at Magic Kingdom during a visit on Monday after a witness reported the incident to authorities.
- The arrest affidavit cited by local outlets says the witness heard Taylor yell at the child and slam the child against a bathroom stall several times and later saw blood on the floor.
- Taylor told deputies he was trying to move past the child inside the stall and that the child slipped and fell, offering a different account from the witness.
