Giants Fan Beaten At Dodger Stadium May Have Brain Damage

According to doctors, the San Fransisco Giants fan who was beaten outside of Dodger Stadium is showing signs of brain damage as he remains in critical condition.

A Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center neurosurgeon said Tuesday that Bryan Stow of Santa Cruz suffered a severe skull fracture and bad bruising to his frontal lobe.

Dr. Gabriel Zada said Stow remains in a coma and that he's showing signs of "brain injury and dysfunction."

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Det. Jose Carrillo said investigators are checking an unconfirmed report that three men in Giants gear were struck by the same attackers before Stow was knocked to the ground and hit his head on the pavement.

Stow's relatives said they do not blame Dodger fans for the attack.
