LOS ANGELES — A Palos Verdes man has been charged with knocking a man unconscious at Dodger Stadium after a game last October.
Prosecutors charged Michael Rae Papayans on Thursday with assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. He's free on bail and faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
Prosecutors say Papayans and his mother began yelling at a group of people — one of whom was wearing Mets clothing — on Oct. 9 in the parking lot.
Authorities say Papayans punched a 50-year-old man, who hit the pavement and was knocked unconscious.
It was reminiscent of a 2011 parking lot attack on San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow, who suffered brain damage. Two men pleaded guilty to the attack.
