San Francisco 49ers fan punched at NFC Championship Game in medical coma [View all]

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- A San Francisco 49ers fan is in a medically induced coma after he was punched during a parking lot confrontation with an apparent Los Angeles Rams fan at Sunday's NFC Championship Game, the mayor of Inglewood said Thursday.

Daniel Luna, 40, remained hospitalized after the fight while police sought his attacker based on a blurry video and the license plate of a car, Mayor James T. Butts Jr. said at a news conference.

Luna, who owns a restaurant in Oakland, was mingling in a crowd of about 16 people at SoFi Stadium, most of them wearing what appeared to be 49ers jerseys, when he pushed a man wearing a Rams jersey from behind, Butts said after viewing the video.

When Luna turned to walk away, the man pushed Luna back, the mayor said. When Luna turned, the man punched him in the mouth, causing Luna to fall to the ground and hit the back of his head, Butts said, estimating that the encounter lasted less than five seconds.

This happened before the game, according to the link. Luna was found bleeding in the parking lot about half an hour after kickoff. Luna's face was fractured and he was placed in a medically induced coma to prevent internal bleeding from swelling his brain, Butts said.
