There was a fight, possibly between 49ers fans and Raiders fans, or just among 49ers fans, that was caught on video in the parking lot outside Levi's Stadium on Sunday.
The formerly Oakland now Las Vegas Raiders were back in town for a Sunday afternoon game against the San Francisco 49ers, and while it was far from an even match — the Niners routed the Raiders 38-17 — many expected that old rivalry sentiments would be reawakened around the Bay between the two fanbases.
It's not clear if that former rivalry had anything to do with the fistfight that became a brawl outside the stadium, and was caught on video, apparently after the game was over.
In the video, seen below, one many is almost immediately knocked unconscious by another, but that prompts another man to jump in and knockout the initial attacker, leaving two men on the ground, as a brawl starts erupting around them.
The caption on the video is "49ers vs raiders fan fight" though it's not clear from what the first two men were wearing who was who. The text on the video also says "Entertaining purposes only," but this doesn't appear to have been staged?
Hopefully, no one was seriously injured. No arrests have been made, and the condition of the men knocked to the ground is not known.
As the Chronicle reports, the Santa Clara Police Department issued a statement Sunday saying they were "aware of a video circulating online of an assault that occurred outside the stadium today," and "This incident is part of an active and ongoing investigation."
Anyone with information or anyone who witnessed the fight is asked to call 408-615-4700 or to leave an anonymous tip at 408-615-4847.
