Two people have reportedly been arrested after a Los Angeles Dodgers fan was kicked in the head and knocked out cold in a sickening incident.
Disturbing video footage shows the fan being beaten in an altercation in the stands of Angel Stadium during Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles rivals.
The victim was sucker-punched and then, after he fell back in his seat, a second man kicked him in the head.
Despite being slumped over - apparently unconscious, with a woman attempting to protect him - the man is punched in the head once more.
A spokesperson for the Anaheim Police Department told TMZ that the fight 'appears to have started over the stealing of a hat.' But many details - including about those involved - remain unclear.
According to TMZ, two individuals in their mid-20s were arrested over the incident. One is facing a felony assault charge while the other was booked for misdemeanor assault.

It's claimed that, at the time, the victim turned down the chance to go to the hospital. It was not the only time that tempers flared during the recent Freeway Series. Another social media clip showed two women arguing in the stands.
On the field, the Angels made franchise history against the Dodgers. On Wednesday night, the Angels completed their first-ever six-game Freeway Series sweep of their Southern California rivals.
Logan O'Hoppe hit a go-ahead two-run single with two outs in the eighth inning, rallying the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-5 victory.
The Angels' only other season sweep vs. the Dodgers came when they went 4-0 in 2019.
The Dodgers, who took their fourth straight loss, fell one game behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West. Los Angeles hadn't trailed in the division since April 27.
