(8/12/20) You’re not going to believe this, but a 17-year old employee of Sesame Place was assaulted by two guests (a man and a woman) on Sunday. The couple attacked and punched the teenage employee in the face after the employee reminded them to wear their face masks while in the park. Shortly after the attack the couple fled to the parking lot and left, and was seen with New York plates on their vehicle. Using park security footage, and the fact that everyone in the park has to leave personal information to make a reservation, the park and local police and working with New York authorities to track down the couple to make an arrest. Meanwhile the teen was taken in for medical treatment that required surgery to his jaw and teeth.
And seriously… I hope they get them too, because there is no excuse to assault a park employee, let alone a teenager, who is just doing their job to keep people safe at a children's theme park.
