A man in Chicago is in critical condition after he was beaten before the Bears game against the Dolphins on Sunday. The unidentified 57-year-old man was at a tailgate just blocks away from Soldier Field when he got into an argument with another man.
The argument turned into a physical altercation and police eventually found the man “incapacitated,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Authorities believe that the victim was “heavily intoxicated” before getting into the altercation.
Fan behavior has become a serious issue for the NFL this season. The incident in Chicago happened just two weeks after a 49ers fan was left partially paralyzed after being assaulted at Levi’s Stadium on Oct. 5.
Two brothers have both been charged with felony assault in that case.
In the Chicago case, police don’t have anyone in custody.
