Maryland man critical after stadium fight

BALTIMORE — A Maryland man is in critical condition after suffering a head injury during a fight with two Oakland Raiders fans from New York during Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens game.

Susan Bauer told The Baltimore Sun that her 55-year-old brother Joseph Bauer was attending the game with his wife Sunday when he got into an argument with a group of Raiders fans at M&T Bank Stadium.

She said her brother is on life support and doctors have told the family he had a 30 percent chance of survival.

The Ravens said in a statement that their sympathies go out to Joseph Bauer and his family.

Court records show 28-year-old Scott Smith of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and 31-year-old Andrew Nappi of Eastchester, N.Y., have been charged with assault. It is unclear whether either man has an attorney.
