Man suing Disney claiming he was bitten by rat
Eternal couple Micky and Minnie are the star attractions at Disney parks but they are not the only rodents around according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Galen Haldeman, 59, is suing the company after claiming he was bitten by a rat at Magic Kingdom.
The rat attack took place back in 2014 while Haldeman and his wife were shopping in a merchandise store at the park, WESH reported.
The lawsuit, filed in Orange County last week is seeking $15,000 in damages, and alleges Haldeman was pushing his wife Carol in her wheelchair through the store when the rodent started scampering up on one of the wheels.
"Just as the rat was about to bite into Carol’s arm, Galen grabbed the rat and yanked it off the chair. As he did so, the rat bit into one of Galen’s fingers," the suit claims.
A Disney employee then ran over and asked people not to take any photographs, it said.
"As a result of Disney’s negligence, Galen Haldeman was bitten by this rat and has been beset with debilitating medical problems ever since,"
