Fan Hurt In Assault Outside Dodger Stadium After Mets' Victory In Game 1 Of NLDS

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Excitement and fanfare at the National League Division Series opener at Dodger Stadium turned violent last week when fans got into an argument that escalated into a full-blown assault, police said Monday.

CBS2/KCAL9's Adrianna Weingold reports authorities say it happened around 10:30 p.m. Friday in parking lot "L" while fans walked to their cars after the Mets beat the Dodgers.

One fan was transported to a local hospital in critical but stable condition, according to police. It wasn't immediately known which team the victim was supporting.

It was unclear how serious the injuries were or whether any legal action will be taken against the team.

LAPD officials say they have security video from the stadium and they're investigating what happened.

The incident was eerily reminiscent of another fight at Dodger Stadium on Opening Day back in 2011 that left San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow with severe injuries.

Stow's family later sued the Dodgers and won.

It wasn't immediately known if alcohol was a factor in the incident on Friday night.
