Police in Santa Clara arrested a man suspected in the violent beating of another person at the 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium this weekend, the department said Tuesday.
On Sunday, a video was taken in the parking lot of a man punching and kicking an unconscious person.
Arrested was San Jose resident Stephan Ramirez, 32.
“The Santa Clara Police Department shares the community’s outrage over the violence at Sunday’s 49ers-Raiders game at Levi’s Stadium,” said the department in a Tuesday release. “Rivalry is never an excuse for criminal behavior.”
Ramirez was booked on suspicion of felony assault and for an outstanding warrant.
