Mother, son sought in fight at Dodger Stadium that left Mets fan in critical condition
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A mother and son are being sought in connection to a fight outside Dodger Stadium that left a New York Mets fan in critical condition.
The fight occurred around 10:30 p.m. Friday after the Dodgers lost Game 1 of the National League Division Series to the Mets, 3-1.
Witnesses said an argument broke out among rival fans in parking lot L, and a Mets fan was punched. He then fell, striking his head.
The victim remains in critical but stable condition at Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center. Investigators say they have pulled video from several surveillance cameras but are releasing minimal details until they interview the victim.
"We believe it is a son and a mother who are responsible for this assault," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said. "We believe that the weapons used was hands and feet."
Beck asked for the public's help to identify the suspects.
"If you were at Friday night's game in parking lot L, post-game about 10:30 p.m. and you saw a fight, a scuffle, and you remember anything about it or you have video, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department," he said.
Suspect 1 was described as a white man between 25 to 30 years of age, medium height and weight, with light-colored hair. Suspect 2 was described as a white woman between the ages of 40 to 50, about 5 feet 3 inches tall, with blond hair.
Security at Dodger Stadium came under national scrutiny following the violent attack on Bryan Stow in 2011. Stow, a San Francisco Giants fan, suffered serious brain damage after being beaten in the parking lot on opening day.
Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez pleaded guilty in the beating and were sent to prison.
Stow sued the Dodgers and their former owner, Frank McCourt, blaming them for the attack because of insufficient security and lighting. A jury faulted the team, along with Sanchez and Norwood, and awarded Stow nearly $18 million after a six-week trial in 2014.
Dodger spokesman Steve Brener said Tuesday that the team had no comment.
