A California man was arrested after being seen in a viral parking lot fight video outside Levi’s Stadium kicking an unconscious man on the ground, police said Tuesday.
Stephen Ramirez, 32, of San Jose, was arrested on felony assault under PC 245(a)(1) and had an outstanding warrant, Santa Clara police said in a post on Facebook. PC 245(a)(1) in the California Penal Code is a charge administered to a person accused of committing assault on another person with a deadly weapon or another instrument to produce great bodily harm.

Ramirez was among those involved in the parking lot brawl after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 9 matchup on Sunday.
“The Santa Clara Police Department shares the community’s outrage over the violence at Sunday’s 49ers-Raiders game at Levi’s Stadium. Rivalry is never an excuse for criminal behavior,” police said, adding its investigation into the fight was ongoing.

It’s unclear what prompted Sunday’s parking lot fight outside the stadium. The viral video showed fans throwing punches and getting knocked out. One person folded like a lawn chair on the ground as his friends continued to brawl with each other.
At least two people were down for the count before another group broke up the melee. The fight in the parking lot didn’t appear to be a one-off either.
Police previously said about a dozen were arrested and many more were ejected from the stadium for fighting.
The brawling was so apparent that 49ers defensive lineman Keion White said he believed he saw fans fighting in the stands as the game was going on.
