(Newsroom America) -- City of Los Angeles, First District Councilmember Ed P. Reyes has posted a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrests of the suspects responsible for beating a San Francisco Giants fan unconscious.

“Violence has no place at what should be a family venue,” said Reyes, whose district includes Dodger Stadium. “My heart goes out to the victim’s family. I can assure you that our officers will do everything we can to bring these perpetrators to justice.”

On Friday, March 31, 2011 just after 8:30 p.m. Bryan Stow, a 41-year-old paramedic, and three friends, all wearing Giants apparel, were followed and confronted by two males in the Dodger Stadium parking lot, according to Los Angeles Police Department detectives.

The attackers, both between 18 and 25 year old and sporting Dodger apparel, yelled derogatory comments and taunted them for being Giants fans. They ignored the suspects and continued walking.

The pair continued to follow Bryan, at which time one of the suspects struck the victim in the head with a closed fist, knocking him unconscious. The attackers continued to kick Bryan in the head and torso as the he lay on the ground. They then fled on foot to a waiting vehicle, an off white or tan four-door, driven by a female who had a child, between 8 and 10 years old, in the passenger seat.

Bryan, a father of two from Scotts Valley (near Santa Cruz), sustained life threatening head injuries. He is receiving medical care at USC Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition.
