San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders fans ejected and arrested after violent fights at Levi’s Stadium: Santa Clara police

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Santa Clara police arrested 11 people and deported 45 others after multiple violent fights broke out during and after Sunday’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders at Levi’s Stadium.

Videos circulating on social media showed altercations in the stands, halls and parking lots. Two videos provided to ABC7 showed punches being thrown and a large fight inside the stadium.

One of those videos was recorded by 49ers fan Ken Winland.

“And the next thing you know, they were in an all-out brawl,” Winland said. “It was just a direct attack. And then, as you can see, people came up the aisle and came out of nowhere without seeing it coming. It turned, at one point, into a 4 or 5 person fight, and people and bodies were going left and right.”

A dozen fight videos have surfaced online from the 49ers-Raiders rivalry game.

One of the most serious incidents appears to have occurred in the parking lot outside Levi’s Stadium, where video shows two people being punched and knocked unconscious.

“But you could just feel it was, you know, the ‘Battle of the Bay’ rivalry, even though they’re in Las Vegas now,” said 49ers fan Steven Gomez.

Police said they had no updates on the condition of the people seen lying on the ground after being struck.

Gomez said he did not witness the fight in the parking lot, but recorded a separate altercation from his seat inside the stadium.

“Which made me go, ‘Oh my God, I saw a woman get punched in the face!'” Gomez said.

A Raiders fan who spoke out Monday night shared photos of a vehicle with a broken window. She said at least four other vehicles parked in an off-site car park also had windows smashed after the match.

“It’s always fun to joke with Raiders fans and stuff, but we have to be better. I want to take my youngest son to a game and as far as the Niners/Raiders go, I just don’t think I can do that. It just leads you and your child to be too vulnerable,” Gomez said.

In a statement, Santa Clara police said fan violence at large-scale events will not be tolerated and that officers and security personnel responded to all known incidents during and after Sunday’s game.

“The Santa Clara Police Department is aware of several incidents of fan violence that occurred during and after Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium,” the department said. “On Sunday, numerous arrests (11) and expulsions (45) took place during the event.”

Police said several incidents were still under investigation and noted that some fights involved victims who were unwilling to cooperate with investigators.

The department said it requested help from about 30 outside law enforcement agencies for the event and planned to pursue those responsible for violent acts.

“We will seek to arrest the individuals responsible for the violence between fans at the event,” the department said.

The 49ers also released a statement saying, “We have a zero-tolerance policy for violence at Levi’s Stadium. The Santa Clara Police Department, our security and guest services teams responded to multiple incidents throughout Sunday’s game. We are grateful to all staff for their quick response and dedication to maintaining a safe environment for all fans.”

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incidents or recorded video to contact the Santa Clara Police Department.
