Dodgers-Angels game descends into violent brawl as fan is knocked out cold before being kicked in the head
Two people have reportedly been arrested after a Los Angeles Dodgers fan was kicked in the head and knocked out cold in a sickening incident. Disturbing video footage shows the fan being beaten in an altercation in the stands of Angel Stadium during Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles rivals. The victim was sucker-punched and then, after he fell back in his seat, a second man kicked him in the head. Despite being slumped over - apparently unconscious, with a woman attempting to protect him - the man is punched in the head once more. A spokesperson for the Anaheim Police Department told TMZ that the fight 'appears to have started over the stealing of a hat.' But many details - including about those involved - remain unclear. According to TMZ, two individuals in their mid-20s were arrested over the incident. One is facing a felony assault charge while the other was booked for misdemeanor assault. Oh my goodness they killed my boy here @Angels — Borgen (@Actually_Borgen) August 14, 2025 A man was kicked in the head and knocked out cold during an Dodgers-Angels game this week It's claimed that, at the time, the victim turned down the chance to go to the hospital. It was not the only time that tempers flared during the recent Freeway Series. Another social media clip showed two women arguing in the stands. On the field, the Angels made franchise history against the Dodgers. On Wednesday night, the Angels completed their first-ever six-game Freeway Series sweep of their Southern California rivals. Logan O'Hoppe hit a go-ahead two-run single with two outs in the eighth inning, rallying the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-5 victory. The Angels' only other season sweep vs. the Dodgers came when they went 4-0 in 2019. The Dodgers, who took their fourth straight loss, fell one game behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West. Los Angeles hadn't trailed in the division since April 27.

Mystery as huge $2.1M sculptures vanish from LA warehouse
A sophisticated art heist left a profound sculptor in shock when he discovered two enormous pieces were swiped from his warehouse. Sir Daniel Winn's two prized sculptures, Quantum Mechanics: Homme, and Icarus Within, were stolen from a warehouse in Anaheim Hills, California, on or around June 14. The massive sculptures were crafted with bronze and stainless steel. Icarus Within weighs a ton and stands at eight feet tall. The piece is valued at $350,000, while Quantum Mechanics is worth a massive $1.8 million. Winn told the Los Angeles Times that moving the sculptures for exhibitions requires a massive operation including a forklift, a dozen men, and a truck. The heist has also left police dumbfounded, as Anaheim Police Sergeant Matt Sutter admitted to the publication that authorities had little information. 'I have no idea where these sculptures are,' Sutter told the LA Times. 'They could be in somebody's house or in a shipping container somewhere. That's what we're trying to find out.' The officer added that in his 25 years with the department, he's never seen a burglary of this scale. 'We've had our share of high-end homes that were burglarized, but this type of crime, involving forklifts, trucks, crews and the sheer size of the sculptures is something I can't remember us having before,' he added. Warehouse workers told authorities that they last saw the sculptures on Saturday and arrived for their shifts the following Monday with the pieces nowhere to be found. Winn told local NBC affiliate, KABC, that the heist was a targeted attack and was doubtful that the thieves just wanted cash for scrap metal due to the scale of the operation. The thieves left other artwork and valuables in the warehouse. Winn is known as a 'blue-chip artist,' meaning he is internationally recognized and his work sells for high values. The artist came to the US as a child refugee fleeing the Vietnam War. He studied medicine at the University of California in Irvine, before deciding to pursue art. Winn is also the Board Chairman of The Academy of Fine Art Foundation and was knighted in 2018 for his non-profit work. He describes his art as Existential Surrealism, exploring themes related to his upbringing as a refugee. One of the sculptures stolen, Home, was featured in the film Creation in 2022 and was the only unsold work in his Quantum Mechanics series. Winn was gutted that his work was stolen and is now concerned the sculptures will be sold on the black market. 'These are my children. I have no physical, organic children. Every artwork I create is my child,' he told the LA Times.

Massive sculptures worth $2.1 million stolen from SoCal warehouse in mysterious heist
LOS ANGELES - The two towering sculptures comprising thousands of pounds of bronze and stainless steel took artist and filmmaker Sir Daniel Winn more than a year to complete. They vanished in a weekend. Police believe that on June 14 or 15 at least one thief made off with both "Icarus Within" and "Quantum Mechanics: Homme," - sculptures valued at a combined $2.1 million - from a warehouse in Anaheim Hills. Other artwork and valuables inside the warehouse that would have been easier to move were untouched. Authorities have scant details about the heist. "Unfortunately, we have little information but we are investigating," Anaheim Police Sgt. Matt Sutter said. The life-sized "Quantum Mechanics: Homme" artwork, composed of lucite, bronze and stainless steel, depicts a winged and horned man and was featured in the award-winning short film "Creation" in 2022. It's valued at $1.8 million. A second Winn piece, "Icarus Within," based partially on the sculptor's chaotic childhood escape from Vietnam, is a steel and bronze sculpture that also stands 8 feet tall, weighs a ton, and is valued at $350,000. Both sculptures were being stored in a temporary facility and were last seen by warehouse workers in Anaheim Hills on Saturday, according to the Anaheim Police Department. When the workers returned to the facility Monday, both pieces were missing, according to police. Winn believes the pieces may have been stolen by an unscrupulous collector while an art recovery expert suspects the two sculptures will be destroyed for scrap metal. "Typically these sculptures, when we do exhibitions, take about a dozen men and two forklifts to move it and a flatbed or a truck to carry it," Winn said. "This is not an easy task." Winn told The Times that the last few days have been stressful and that his anxiety has been "through the roof." Winn is considered a blue-chip artist, meaning his work is highly sought after and has a high monetary value. The former UC Irvine medical student, who was once homeless after switching his major from medicine to art, said he blends fine art, quantum metaphysics and philosophy into his work. The Vietnamese refugee owns the Winn Slavin Fine Art gallery on Rodeo Drive and was appointed earlier this month as Art Commissioner for John Wayne Airport. The loss of his art has pushed Winn "to a dark place," he said, though he's found some catharsis in talking about the situation. "These are my children," he said of each of his individual works. "I have no physical, organic children. Every artwork I create is my child." The larger of two sculptures, "Homme," was the seventh and only unsold work in Winn's Quantum Mechanics series, which explores philosophical concepts, universal truths and tries to answer the enduring question: why are we here? The smaller "Icarus Within" focused on Winn's struggle around the age of 9 in emigrating to the United States in the final days of the Vietnam War. The sculpture was tied to Winn's movie "Chrysalis," based on his memoirs, that is supposed to premiere this fall. Winn said the level of sophistication in the theft led him to suspect he was targeted and that his pieces may be on the black market. He turned over a list of individuals who have recently inquired about his sculptures to police, he said. Sutter, the Anaheim Police sergeant, said this is the largest burglary he's seen in his 25 years with the department. "We've had our share of high-end homes that were burglarized, but this type of crime, involving forklifts, trucks, crews and the sheer size of the sculptures is something I can't remember us having before," Sutter said. Sutter said investigators are asking businesses near the warehouse for any footage that could help them identify a suspect. "I have no idea where these sculptures are," Sutter said. "They could be in somebody's house or in a shipping container somewhere. That's what we're trying to find out." Chris Marinello, founder of the dispute resolution and art recovery service named Art Recovery International, said the sculptures will likely be scrapped for their metals. Marinello said scrap yards tear apart such works into thousands of small pieces to cloak the metal's origin. "Unfortunately, the criminals are not that bright and they don't see artwork but, instead, a sculpture worth millions that is more valuable to them for the raw metals like steel and bronze," Marinello said. Marinello pointed to a two-ton Henry Moore bronze sculpture, known as the Reclining Figure, stolen from the artist's foundation in Hertfordshire, England in 2005. The piece was valued at 3 million pounds, but authorities believe it was scrapped for just 1,500 pounds. "You can't sell sculptures of this magnitude on the market," Marinello said of the Winn's stolen pieces. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

The sculptures worth $2.1 million stolen from Anaheim warehouse have been found
A pair of sculptures that were taken from a warehouse in Anaheim last week have been recovered, according to authorities. The Anaheim Police Department confirmed that the sculptures, worth an estimated $2.1 million combined, were found Friday night. They were found in a trailer in a driveway after community members tipped police off to the location. Masterpiece Publishing Created by Sir Daniel Winn, the two pieces of artwork went missing sometime before June 9, police said. They each stand higher than eight feet tall and weigh thousands of pounds. Police said it's possible that forklifts were used to steal the sculptures due to their weight. As of Saturday, there's no word on any potential suspects in the alleged burglary. No arrests have been made, police said.
