LOS ANGELES, April 5 (UPI) -- A San Francisco Giants fan who was severely beaten at Dodger Stadium texted before the incident he was "scared," his cousin said Tuesday.
Bryan Stow, 42, of Santa Clara, Calif., was attacked in the stadium's parking lot following last week's season-opening game between the Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers, sustaining brain injuries after being kicked repeatedly in the head.
His cousin, John Stow, told the Los Angeles Times he had received a text message from Bryan moments before the attack saying he was "scared inside the stadium."
"He doesn't use that term loosely," Stow added.
Los Angeles authorities say they are looking for two assailants in connection with the incident.
The paramedic and father of two was put into a medically induced coma after sustaining a severely fractured skull and damage to the frontal lobe of his brain, the Times said.
The Los Angeles City Council Tuesday authorized a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the attackers, bringing the total of various rewards being offered to $100,000.
