Fight at Ravens Game Leaves 1 Hospitalized, 2 Charged: Police

BALTIMORE, MD — A man is in critical condition after a brawl at Sunday afternoon's Ravens-Raiders game, and two New York men were arrested, according to the Baltimore Police Department.

Scott Smith, 30, of Mount Vernon, New York, and Andrew Nappi, 31, of Eastchester, New York, have been charged with first and second-degree assault, court records show.

They were arrested at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore at approximately 3:30 p.m., when fans alerted officers that a fight had broken out on one of the exit ramps from the stadium, police said. At the time, the game was still in progress; the Raiders won, 28-27, after 4 p.m.

Authorities said they found a 56-year-old man lying on his back, unconscious, while Smith and Nappi were allegedly walking away from him. Through investigation, including information from witnesses, police said that it was determined the three had gotten into a verbal argument when the victim was pushed to the ground, where he hit his head and lost consciousness.

The victim was taken to a hospital, where police said Monday he remained listed in critical condition. He was identified by The Baltimore Sun as Joseph Bauer, 55, of Jessup, an employee of Schuster Concrete and former Marine whose sister told the paper he has a 30 percent chance of survival and is on life support.

Smith and Nappi are slated to appear in Baltimore City Circuit Court on Oct. 27 for a hearing.
