A man was knocked unconscious during a fight that was caught on camera Tuesday night outside an entrance to Dodger Stadium, police said.
Video of the scuffle Tuesday night showed a several men appearing to throw punches. A man wearing a white Dodgers Clayton Kershaw jersey was knocked to the ground and appeared to strike the back of his head on the pavement.
The brawl broke out around 10:15 p.m. -- after the Dodgers 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins -- near the centerfield stadium entrance. The man seen lying motionless on the ground in the video was not there when officers arrived, the LAPD said.
It was not immediately clear what led up to the fight.

Witness Johnathon Lopez told the Los Angeles Times it appeared the person on the ground was unconscious. Within a few minutes, an LAPD officer arrived and detained one man, Lopez said. The man on the ground was carried away on a stretcher, according to The Times.
"It definitely appeared that some of the people were buzzed or really intoxicated," said Lopez, 18, who attended the game with about 60 members of his family to celebrate a cousin's visit home from the U.S. Air Force.
The video is part of the police investigation. NBCLA reached out to the Dodgers, but the organization declined to comment.
