Yankees fan left 'in pain' after shocking incident at Dodger Stadium during World Series rematch
A New York Yankees fan attending Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers says he was hit in the head by falling concrete from Dodgers Stadium.
Ricardo Aquino, a Yankees fan from Mexico City, said a piece of concrete fell from above his seat in Section 10 of Dodgers Stadium, which is between home plate and first base in the stands.
Social-media photos show a fan in a Yankees jersey holding a piece of concrete, which is about the size of a baseball.
Another post shows a photo looking up at one of the support beams of the second deck of Dodger Stadium with a huge chunk missing.
The incident reportedly happened during the third inning of the World Series rematch in Los Angeles, per The Athletic.
Stadium security and a police officer met with Aquino after the alleged incident, with him also receiving medical attention.

A man sitting up on a stretcher is also seen getting his pulse checked in a social media post.
'He's in some pain, but all it was, was the hit. He's not bleeding, but he's in some pain,' said Alvaro Baeza to the outlet, who translated for Aquino.
The Dodgers are aware of the incident and did not comment further on the matter to the outlet.
Dodger Stadium is the third-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, trailing only Boston's Fenway Park and Chicago's Wrigley Field, housing the Los Angeles squad for most of the time since it moved from Brooklyn.
Dodger Stadium opened in 1962 and has been renovated multiple times since. However, parts of the foundation cannot be undone without tearing all of it down.
The Dodgers won Friday night's game 8-5 and have blown out the Yankees on Saturday, echoing the results from last year's championship tilt.
