The LAPD chief says a mother and son are “responsible” for the assault and, “We believe that the weapon used was hands and feet”.
The man was reported to be in serious but stable condition Tuesday, and officers have begun interviewing him, the AP reported. The LAPD would not confirm the team affiliations of either the victim or the alleged perpetrators.
Witnesses said a loud argument broke out among rival fans in the parking lot, and a Mets fan was punched and fell, striking his head on the ground and suffering a severe head injury. “It was pretty bad because there was a lot of blood on the floor”.
People rushed to help the victim and one person, Maria Cerecer, caught the scene on camera.
Four and a half years after San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was brutally beaten outside of Dodger Stadium, another incident of violence towards a visiting fan has occurred in Chavez Ravine.
A fan was injured in a fight outside Dodger Stadium after a playoff game last Friday night. “You heard his skull hitting the concrete”, the witness told the L.A. Times.
Should the Mets return to Los Angeles for a Game 5 on Thursday, Beck said police will have a strong presence at the stadium, “particularly with the tensions between the two teams right now, and the fans obviously”.

“There will be a sea of blue”, Beck said.
