A smoker lashed out at a tourist who asked him to put out his cig at Disneyland.
The man was reportedly puffing in an outside area that wasn’t designated for smoking.
The tourist asked him to extinguish his cigarette, but the smoker was seemingly angered by the interruption.

Footage showed the tobacco user, seen wearing black, throwing punches and kicks at the tourist in white clothes.
A female Disney staff member tried to intervene but was unable to stop the assault.
The brawl apparently took place in front of young children in the Disneytown area of Shanghai Disney Resort, China, on Sunday (26 Apr).
The 24-year-old tourist, surnamed Zhang, confronted the smoker outside a family restaurant.
He told the 34-year-old aggressor, surnamed Xu, that the outdoor area is not a designated smoking zone and asked him to stop.
Xu, who felt Zhang’s tone was overly harsh, responded by launching an angry assault as the victim attempted to evade the blows without retaliating.
The police arrived on the scene and Zhang was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with soft tissue contusions.
Both men agreed to police-mediated resolution.
Xu has since apologised to Zhang, paid him a five-figure sum in compensation, and signed a formal mediation agreement, according to reports.
Shanghai Disney Resort customer services confirmed the park is not entirely smoke-free and maintains designated smoking areas.
Staff members are instructed to guide visitors to these points or direct them to the visitor centre for assistance.
The resort reinforced its smoking policy last year by halving the number of designated points in the park to create a more family-friendly environment.
Police described the assault as illegal and confirmed they had handled the matter through mediation at the request of both parties, as reported by Need To Know.
The case has sparked widespread discussion on Chinese social media about public etiquette, smoking rules in tourist attractions, and the limits of good-faith intervention in crowded public spaces.
