An Italian tourist was arrested at Walt Disney World over the weekend for kicking his toddler son in the face while the boy was strapped in his stroller, police said.

Dario Napolitano, 41, was with his wife and two sons at the resort's Epcot theme park on Saturday afternoon when witnesses said the man kicked his 3-year-old son during a family argument, according to local repots. Witnesses said the boy cried out in pain, and security guards quickly called police.

The boy's mother was yelling "No, no, no!" during the incident, Central Florida News reported. Cops said Napolitano admitted to hitting the boy because he was misbehaving.
