Police ask for help identifying suspects from 49ers game fight

Santa Clara police have just released photos of persons of interest in connection to a fight at Levi's Stadium that happened in September.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KGO) -- Santa Clara police have just released photos of a man and woman they're looking for in connection to a fight a Levi's Stadium.

Police say these people were fighting in the stands of the 49ers game against the New York Giants late September.

Officers have already arrested another person for assault and battery but need help identifying the man and woman in these photos.

Santa Clara police are asking for the public's help in identifying two persons of interest thought to be involved in a Sept. 21 brawl.

"The male and female pictured in the images have not yet been identified. Fan violence at Levi's Stadium will not be tolerated. Persons in violation of Levi's Stadium Code of Conduct may be prohibited from attending future events at Levi's Stadium," police said in a statement. "The SCPD would like to identify these persons in order to proceed with criminal accountability and to ensure their awareness that they are prohibited from future events at Levi's Stadium."

Video from inside the stadium shows the violent brawl that broke out between a group of home fans in the stands. The footage captured men and women trading blows.

The San Francisco 49ers made short work of the New York Giants during Thursday's game, but some fans didn't seem to enjoy the victory so much.

One of the men in the video appears to pull a woman down the bleachers by her hair while holding a beer. A security guard eventually arrived and broke up the fight.

It's not clear what prompted the violence.

In July, a fight broke out in the stands during a soccer match and a man was stabbed and critically injured.
