Ravens fan in critical condition after altercation with Raiders fans

A 55-year-old Baltimore Ravens fan was attacked by two Oakland Raiders fans at M&T Bank Stadium during Sunday's 28–27 win by Oakland and is in critical condition in the hospital.

The Ravens fan, Joseph Bauer, was involved in a verbal altercation near a concession stand toward the end of the game before he was attacked. He was struck and suffered a subdural hematoma, which causes blood to pool on the brain. Doctors told the family that he has a 30% survival chance.

Both Raiders fans, Scott Smith and Andrew Nappi, were arrested and charged with first- and second-degree assault.
