Attack Outside Dodger Stadium
Los Angeles police are looking for two men who beat and critically injured a San Francisco Giants fan in the Dodger Stadium parking lot after the opening day game on Thursday night.
Two men in Dodgers clothing allegedly followed three men in Giants gear as they walked to their car after Thursday night’s 2-1 Dodger victory.
The attackers allegedly yelled slurs against the Giants and began kicking and punching the men. One victim suffered a head injury and was hospitalized in critical but stable condition.
Update- Several days after the attack the fan is still in a medically induced coma and there is now a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the assailants. After the incident several other incidents have come to light including the shooting death of a Giants fan in the parking lot in 2003, a man was stabbed several times in the parking lot in 2009, a fan at an Angels game was killed in the stands in 2009, in 2009 there were 32 serious crimes around Dodgers Stadium, and in 2010 the number had dropped to 21 serious crimes including rape, homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, and burglary.
