LOS ANGELES (AP) — City leaders from Los Angeles and San Francisco are condemning violence among sports fans after an opening-day attack at Dodger Stadium left a Giants fan in a medically induced coma.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee, police chiefs and team owners from both cities said Sunday that the attack on 42-year-old Bryan Stow is “unconscionable” and will not be tolerated.
The officials praised the storied rivalry between the Dodgers and Giants, but called for “civility” and “common decency.”
They say their prayers are with Stow, who was badly beaten by two men in the parking lot Thursday night after a Dodger victory. Stow is in a Los Angeles hospital.
No arrests have been announced or suspects named.
