Following a dare, 24-year-old Christopher Allen entered into a restricted area at the California theme park that held the camel and punched the animal.

Police officials say the man did follow through with the dare and has since been arrested.

Park security was able to detain Allen but he was able to escape and left the Six Flags park. Police officials caught up with him and arrested both Allen and the driver of his getaway car.
