SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The family of a San Francisco Giants fan who was severely beaten outside Dodgers Stadium says he underwent emergency surgery this week after suffering another seizure.

Bryan Stow’s family posted on their website that doctors at San Francisco General Hospital performed the surgery Monday after fluid built up his head.

According to the website, doctors removed a bone flap that was put in Friday and also removed a growth that was found. A filter was inserted to help drain the fluid. A hospital spokesman says Stow remains in serious condition.

Police say Stow was attacked after the season opener between the Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers in March. He was in critical condition for months before doctors upgraded him in June.

Authorities arrested Giovanni Ramirez but haven’t charged him in the case.
