The Dodgers just got hit with a hefty lawsuit.
The organization is being sued for $2 million by 31-year-old Daniel Antunez, who claims Dodger Stadium security manhandled him and left him with a broken ankle, bruises and cuts, CBS Los Angeles reported.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, alleges Antunez was essentially jumped by six to 10 security guards in a stadium bathroom on April 24, 2018, when the Dodgers were playing the Marlins.
According to court papers obtained by CBS Los Angeles, the incident is alleged to have started when one of Antunez's friends, Vanessa Gonzalez, accidentally spilled beer on a woman in front of her. The woman called over security, which escalated into Gonzalez being kicked out of the game.
Antunez told security if Gonzalez had to leave, he was going with her. On the way out of the park, he said he needed to use the men's room
“They directed him to a restroom that was not nearby. That was much further down the concourse,” Antunez’s attorney, Peter diDonato, said.
That's when security allegedly jumped Antunez in the bathroom. Afterward, Antunez said his ankle hurt and he was wheeled out of the stadium in a wheelchair.
The incident was caught on phone video by Gonzalez, the suit claims.
According to diDonato, his client needed screws put into his ankle and he suffered "permanent" damage.
It's not the first time Dodger Stadium security has come under fire.
Last month, Rafael Reyes allegedly was assaulted outside the stadium and ended up on life support. His family said security failed Reyes in the incident.
