Man severely beaten in Angels Stadium parking lot

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Police in Anaheim, California, are looking for three men suspected of brutally beating a man in the Angels Stadium parking lot in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

A police spokesman says the 43-year-old Huntington Beach man and his relative were walking to a car after the Angels’ playoff game against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night when they were attacked for no apparent reason.

Witnesses alerted Anaheim police officers of the incident, and they found the victim unconscious. He was rushed to a hospital, where he is listed in critical condition.

The male relative was not injured.

Angels Stadium is located 30 miles south of Dodgers Stadium where a San Francisco Giants fan was beaten in 2011 after a game between the rival teams. Bryan Stow, a paramedic from Northern California, suffered brain damage from the beating and is permanently disabled.

The violence sparked scrutiny of stadium security and fan behavior.
